Hi,
My good friend (current dental student) had a question about whether it is wise to see a doctor to see whether she has ADHD or generalized anxiety disorder. She doesn't know who to talk to and I said that I can ask on SDN, and she agreed on it.
She has been struggling in school academically and I have been telling her strongly that it will help her to have more time to take tests so that she can do better in school if she gets diagnosed as ADHD or generalized anxiety disorder. It is not completely certain whether she has one of those, but I recommended her to see a doctor whether she has it. However, she is afraid that getting diagnosed as ADHD or generalized anxiety disorder will be negatively applied to her.
I am wondering if anyone knows this type of case and will it help or not help my friend?
