[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 411136, member: 2423"] Welcome! Have you ever read the diagnostic criteria for ADHD? If you have, you might realize that what you're describing doesn't sound much like ADHD at all. ADHD is not about meltdowns and saying you hate yourself and others and wondering when you are going to die. It sounds much more likely that there is a mood component brewing than ADHD. A private neuropscyologist will do a more thorough job than the school for two reasons: more skilled professionals doing the testing and the evaluation is broader on the outside (not just confined to educational impact). Again, welcome. You will find a lot of support here. [/QUOTE]
