I'm a journalist with ADHD. From both perspectives it's unethical & misleading for a neurotypical journalist to try get diagnosed privately, but tell NHS psychiatrist about investigation into false diagnoses & then use the NHS assessment as evidence private diagnoses are wrong Your NHS ADHD assessment result is worthless after you've warned the psychiatrist about your journalistic agenda and implied you don't believe you have ADHD. Plus if you don't apply the same approach to the private assessments, making comparisons is extremely misleading.
