I described my symptoms to a therapist yesterday and she said that a lot of it has to do with stress. But obviously after the first appointment she couldn’t really determine where these symptoms were stemming from for sure. She recommended more appointments which I agree with, she also recommended the common ways to manage and reduce stress (fitness, diet, reading, etc.). However, I have also been reading about the ADD symptoms and I do agree that my symptoms are very compatible with disorder. Is it common for a therapist's first reaction to be stress? Is that usually the case? Perhaps, I just need to have a few more visits and try and figure things out myself. I do know however that I don't want to try taking medications unless it is a last resort.
