How many Dr & therapists does it take?
Husband is on his 3rd Psychiatrist and 2nd therapists within a year. He meets the DSM-IV criteria for ADHD, and per my observation has little if any hyperactivity symptoms, but off the charts on Inattentive type. The Psychiatrist have use the typical DSM-IV questions and over all spent on average of 20 mins first visit and 15 per follow up visits. One of the Psychiatrist even told him... "I dont believe there is such thing as Adult ADHD, but am prescribing you vyvanse to help with your focus"
Dealing with lack of empathy
Forum:
I’m writing to describe what I went through with my ADHD wife through my serious illness. When it was finally diagnosed that I had to have heart valve replacement surgery my wife’s oblivious cruel streak came out. All this happened before we knew, at age 58, that she is very likely ADHD. Anyway, the very evening after getting home from the hospital, having undergone diagnostic angiography, she tells me that she doesn't want to deal with my ‘anxiety’ around the whole thing and that she was looking at apartments and possibly moving out.

Never ending reasons to be mad at me
Forum:
It's been 7 months since I've asked my husband to move out of our apartment to try a therapeutic separation. Aggressiveness was really high (shouting at me and at our 4 year-old kid,...) and I thought that was the last resort to try and save our marriage...
ADHD & RSD (Rejection-Sensitive Disphoria)- spouse thinks he found answer
New here and this is my first post...
I am a non- ADHD spouse and have been struggling terribly in my marriage the past 5 to 6 years. I have been stuck in a cycle of manipulation by my husband and he has not been willing to address any of it. I believe he is a good person, but he manipulates me, violates my privacy and we do not trust each other. I won’t list all the details...
