Find a new one. Find one that specializes in ADHD. You can absolutely be diagnosed as an adult, however the symptoms must have been present before the age of 12 or something, technically.

I had a doctor ask me if I had found jesus when first trying to get help w my issues. For real. It can take some time to find the right fit, but hopefully you can seek out an ADHD/neurodivergent focused therapist for better results

e: i was diagnosed by a psychologist/therapist. I have heard from several folks anecdotally that their psychiatrists are more detached and are mostly just there for prescriptions. YMMV

Your edit seems about right lol

I'll definitely be looking. I'm on a wait-list for therapy for now, but I'll try to find someone who works with ADHD specifically. I didn't know that existed. Hopefully my city is big enough.

I also had a therapist tell me that Jesus could help me once. I didn't see her again. Lmao
