ADHD

What kind of testing did you do for ADHD as an adult? Did anyone just do the questioneer or was it more testing involved as an adult?

A psychiatrist or psychologist needs to evaluate you. The evaluation takes a couple of hours.

I have heard that some places only do the specific questioneer and some places will do the full testing but the questioneer can be a diagnoses to?

No. The questioner is the first part of the evaluation, but you get a diagnosis after the full evaluation. If any mental health provider gives a diagnosis with a questioner without evaluating the patient, it is doing malpractice.
I come from a family line of ADHD and autism and majored in psychology in college. Most of the time, the questioner doesn't play a big part in the evaluation, or at least it's not supposed to. It's more to express concerns and what you're feeling.

I was hooked up to a thing called Evox. It's like a swimcap with sensors in it. They give you various cognitive tests for a few hours then look at your brain signals and your eye movements. My retention of information was spot on but my focus and engagement was way off the charts. They give you a print out of what your brain looked like over the span of the tests... thisndata was extremely helpful.

Friends wedding abroad

Hi all. I know this is FTM... But really need advice. I am currently pregnant with baby #2. Only 8 weeks. I didn't want to tell anyone yet, my partner and boss knows (needed for risk assessment reasons annoyingly). My friend is getting married in a remote part of Spain in ~3 months. I've already had a few minor complications, pain, bleeding, vanishing twin... I got preeclampsia last pregnancy and a terrible birth.
I am pretty sure I don't feel comfortable flying and then travelling out to a remote part of Spain during pregnancy. It will just be me and my toddler. I know it's overcautious but I just don't feel comfortable. I'm not even sure if I am going to be classified as high risk pregnancy or not.
How do I handle this? I need to tell her ASAP, but I didn't really want to tell anyone yet as doc told me miscarriage risk is a bit increased with vanishing twin. Any ideas?

Anxious/depressed

My first pregnancy symptom was my anxiety out of nowhere. I feel like I'm a bundle of nerves and just so scared of everything. Is anyone else feeling similar? How are you managing? Are we contributing it to hormones?

Sneak Peek Test

I did the sneak peek test at 15 weeks pregnant, and the results just came back girl! Has anyone ever taken the test, gotten girl, and it been wrong?
