Unhelpful gp made me feel worse about my health

Sharing my personal encounter with this medical practice, based on my experience with one of their general practitioners. The reception staff was incredibly welcoming and accommodating. Scheduling and communication via telephone was seamless and uncomplicated. Unfortunately, I felt deeply uncomfortable during my consultation. After enduring symptoms for over a year, I struggled to fully articulate my concerns as the GP seemed eager to conclude our interaction quickly. They dismissively suggested ADHD is merely a trendy condition, implying its diagnosis was unimportant. The practitioner also made me feel inadequate by suggesting I must actively desire improvement, which was precisely why I sought medical advice. I was even questioned about my expected treatment, which seemed counterintuitive - isn't consulting a GP precisely for addressing health concerns? While they might have perceived my issues as non-critical, that's why I had postponed seeking help for so long. I received a prescription, but remain unclear about my actual diagnosis. Candidly, the consultation left me feeling more emotionally distressed than before. Perhaps self-management might be a more constructive approach.
