Scots mum branded 'lazy' opens up on ADHD diagnosis
A Scots mum who was branded "lazy" has opened up on her ADHD diagnosis after she waited years for an assessment, before eventually being forced to spend over £1,000 on private care.Annie Chase, 42, was misdiagnosed as having bipolar 2 in 2014, and it wasn't until six years later that she began wondering if she had ADHD.
She entered a waiting list in 2020 - and a year later her husband suffered a severe neck injury which left him with significant mobility issues.
Annie, from Haddington in East Lothian, found herself caring for her disabled husband and their three children with autism - while simultaneously struggling with undiagnosed ADHD.She told Edinburgh Live: “I felt like I was drowning.
I couldn’t keep up with the demands. I was doing literally everything. I couldn’t physically and mentally do all this on my own.
