Hey all can a general pediatrician diagnose me with OCD? I’m 19 but I still go to my family doctor and I have an appointment with her tomorrow. I’m going to talk to her about my OCD symptoms and was wondering if anyone was diagnosed by their primary doctor or would I have to get a referral to see a psychiatrist or other mental health professional.

Can general pediatricians diagnose OCD?

My primary doctor has given me meds for disorders that I'm not professionally diagnosed with but am heavily suspected of (Adderall for ADHD), but I think for an actual diagnosis you'd have to be referred to another professional.
