Is care from a Nurse Practitioner lower quality than from an MD for ADHD?
My mom keeps referring to my NP as 'basically a nurse, not a real doctor' every time it comes up, which is starting to make me second-guess whether I actually got quality care or just a cheaper, watered-down version of a real assessment.

My grandmother says something similar and it used to get in my head honestly. Eventually just started asking my NP directly about her specific ADHD training and caseload, and hearing the actual specifics made the 'basically a nurse' framing feel pretty clearly wrong.
