ADHD MISDIAGNOSIS

[Zeek]

Here are the facts of the situation:

1. A variety of events caused me to lose focus in school (These were significant events that effected my entire family; homeless at one point, etc.)
2. I was taken to a psychologist and prescribed concerta (aka methylphenidate) for attention problems
3. I took this medication for one month, stopping as a result of no benefits from the medication
4. I was given a letter of encouragement by west point (I have yet to take my CFA and I will be increasing my Test Scores significantly)
5. Both my psychologist and doctor have offered to provide statements indicating that I was INCORRECTLY diagnosed with an attention problem
6. I indicated I DO NOT have ADD/ADHD on my candidate questioner
7. I have not been on the medication for around 8 months now
8. I will be taking an SAT soon and have reason to believe I can attain a score of 1570+

Here are my questions:

1. What is my best course of action?
2. Have I committed an error, by indicating I do not have ADHD? (Which I do not; and I can perform at a high level without any sort of medication, as evidence by my standardized test scores)
3. Should I discuss this matter with my field force representative?
4. Can this situation be resolved to avoid disqualification via DoDMERB?

Thank you for your support.
