    I had been diagnosed with ADHD by a therapist. When I went into a psyc to receive my gogo pills and they worked they said that I have a, "true adhd." which I thought was wild. There are definitely psychiatrists who will prescribe stimulants to people they don't think have ADHD but who have adhd symptoms. Like, I had a psychiatrist who refused to prescribe me stimulants because he decided that he couldn't confirm that I had ADHD symptoms before age 16. But, he also said that he prescribes stimulants to people without adhd who might be helped by it. fucking hated that guy. exactly the kinda shit that never happened to me while I was living as a man.
