Adult ADHD?!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
So just out of interest how does Attachment Theory line up with the development of BPD? What about C-PTSD? As far as I know it's not an officially accepted diagnosis (yet), how many patients do you think legitimately fit a 'diagnosis' of C-PTSD either get misdiagnosed with ADHD, Bipolar, etc, and how many go undiagnosed in these cases?

Any good book recs on the Neurobiological side of Attachment Theory as well?
Look into anything by Dan segal

Research has repeatedly shown that the best treatment for ADHD is both medication and behavioral modification, not one or the other.

It's ridiculous how many psychiatrists are scared or "don't believe in" stimulants and adult ADHD, as demonstrated by this thread.

Not sure what you mean? There are tens of thousands of psychiatrists in this country. You have read post from about 15 who are questioning the validity and attribution of ubiquitous cognitive and psychiatric symptoms to a certain diagnosis (AD/HD). Exactly one of whom used the phase "do not believe in."

Psychiatrists and other mental health professionals are rightful (and are doing due diligence) to be critical in their evaluations, and to not believe every word their patient says/claims. Psychiatric diagnosis is not easy. If it were, we would let unlicensed individuals do it.

There's a lot more than that going on in this thread.
