Hello,
I have a couple of questions about the law/medical procedure that I'm hoping someone can answer. I recently went in to get checked out and diagnosed for ADHD as I've been having increasingly severe trouble concentrating. The psychiatrist agreed and offered to write me a letter, but now I'm realizing that the psychologist (the prescribing doctor) will likely have to access my existing records, will find that i have been prescribed bipolar medication, and will not be able to prescribe me a stimulant. Is this true, aka, is it a waste of my time and money to go any further?
In addition, I am concerned that my primary care physician (who is a close family friend) will see it come up on my record if I am prescribed. Is that the case?
Thanks,
a_dude
