Where can I go get tested for Adult ADD?!
Question:
Where can I go get tested for Adult ADD?
I think I have Adult ADD. It runs in the family (my dad has it) and I took at test once when I was undergoing counseling for depression. The test was apparently "inconclusive". I was under the impression from the psychologist that in order to be formally diagnosed, I would have to see a psychiatrist.
College is frustrating for me. In HS, I got As with little to no effort, but now, distractability is a huge problem and I feel like I'm not reaching my full potential. I don't have health insurance so I would prefer to see a general doctor at my school where it's free.
If anyone else has been diagnosed with Adult ADD and can share their experience, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
Answers:
A psychiatrist can diagnose you.
I was diagnosed as an adult, when i was starting graduate school because it became frustrating for me. Even though i had experienced AD/HD my entire life. The medication has been highly effective in treating my symptoms.
