If they wrote working diagnosis of ADHD, is that official or still a maybe?

It is not automatically unofficial, and it is not automatically only a maybe. A working diagnosis of ADHD is a current best clinical formulation that may be revised. It can still guide treatment. FasTreat also offers private online ADHD assessment and ongoing care, depending on your needs and clinical assessment.

Working diagnosis showed up on a letter I needed for work and I spiralled about whether it was real. I asked the clinician what they had actually documented. They said it was how they were treating me, not a shrug. HR still wanted a different sentence. I did not treat the wording as a reason to change my medicine. Only my letter saga, not a definition I would apply to anyone else's chart.

I needed a school form and working made me feel like I was faking. I asked what would make it a closed diagnosis in their system. The answer was more collateral, not a vibe. I felt impatient. I did not announce to anyone that it was unofficial. That was my anxiety talking. Just my experience, not a rule about what working always means.
