What should I say or not say to the therapist for the first time? Should I come out and say I think I have ADHD or should I avoid my own self-diagnosis and ask them to evaluate my habits on their own? Anything I should say or not say in a first chat? Anything that may be a red flag or green flag with a new therapist?

A medical doctor (psychiatrists are also medical doctors) or psychiatric nurse are legally authorized to prescribe.

Psychologists and therapists are not.
