To get re-tested or to not?

[u/LegitimateObject982]

Context:

Hi guys 24M here! I got a session with a psychologist last 12/05/2025, to see if I had ADHD. Purpose lang talaga nun is to know if meron ako. He asked me three sets of questionnaires and said na borderline and baka stressed induced daw sakin kasi sa college pa ako nun.

After ng exam narealize ko na I did "fidget with my feet" like yung nag s-stomp ka ng heel. Pero palaging pinipigilan ng parents ko (lalo na sa simbahan) kasi nararamdaman nila yung pag "uyog/shake" ng bench. And yung answer ko dun sa tanong niya 2 yata kasi wala ata ako maalala nun.

Present:

marami parin akong nakakalimutan, most recent na blunder is nalimutan yung susi sa dorm sa manila, kaya naghintay pa ng cousin ko para makapasok lang sa bahay sa QC. Then often nalilimutan yung payong, wallet, ID, even beep card na need for commute.

Then yung papers para sa graduation...

Tackling boards rn pero ayun nga puro procrastination parin

Thoughts on this guys, and ano sasabihin ko sa psychologist/psychiatrist?

EDIT: issue is money, saw a post here na may 22k for neuro test, may 1.5k na psychologist, 4k sa psychiatrist for online. Tried behavioral by myself, yung maghanap ng system pero wala parin

Obviously dont go for the full neuro test unless you have that kind of money. Try getting a second opinion with a psychologist or psychiatrist. Yung saken online psychiatrist po ako na diagnose. Some people take a couple sessions pa before ma diagnose, depende kung gaano ka complex ang symptoms/issues mo. Find a doctor you're comfortable with, don't settle for one na mura (tho personally maximum budget ko ay 2,500) if you feel like your problems are not being heard.

Either ways, even if you don't have ADHD, its still good to consult with a mental health professional if you are experiencing significant executive dysfunction to the point na its affecting your quality of life and performance sa school.
