This leaves those of us with attention deficit SYMPTOMS, but who are NOT blessed with a "certifiable," etiologically correct, DSM-IV sanctioned ADH "DISORDER," in quite a bind, as regards obtaining psychostimulant medication.
Now if I could find a doctor who medicates according to actual current symptoms rather than what my mental health was 40 years ago, I might not be in such a pickle.
As it is, a monthly trip to Tijuana is looking more and more likely.
I can't be the only one who's been faced with this dilemma, can I?
