It sounds like you have an HMO. I don't, so maybe I'm wrong, but don't they require a referral from everyone? Anyway, just say you want a second opinion from a psychiatrist. For a GP to be asked that is extremely reasonable-- I mean, I'm about to mention that to my p-doc so I may see a psychophamacologist (theory is that they're less uptight over benzos).
Your GP isn't a psychiatrist, so asking him for a second opinion is something he'll understand, even if he doesn't agree with your ADD concerns.
