I was told several years ago by my parents that I'd been diagnosed with ADHD around the 2nd grade, prescribed medication to help me, and soon taken off of it because my mother, who is crazy and goes through phases frequently, became an all natural health nut for a while. I was never put back on whatever meds I was taken off of, and as an adult I really, really struggle to function. I think this is probably due to my ADHD. I really want to go see a doctor and find out if I could get put back on some kind of medication to see if it would help me. First though, I want to see if it says anywhere in my records if I was actually diagnosed or if my mother was lying to me when she told me that. I don't think she was because I do remember briefly taking pills for something at school in 2nd grade that were to be taken at a specific time every day and given to me by school staff, but I also know that I can't trust her to ever be truthful to me and I'd rather just see it for myself so that I can know where I need to start.
So, is this something that I can do at all? Can I access medical records from childhood to see my diagnosis (or possible lack thereof)? For reference I am 20, so the time I would've been diagnosed would be around 2011. I'm just trying to figure out where I need to start to get treatment because I cannot live my entire life the way I do now. It feels like mental torture.
