If you suspect you have ADHD, the first step is to speak with a healthcare professional or mental health provider, such as a psychiatrist, psychologist, or primary care physician. They can help you determine if your symptoms are consistent with ADHD and provide you with a referral for testing or assessment.
You can also contact organizations such as CHADD (Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) or ADDA (Attention Deficit Disorder Association) for information and resources on finding a qualified healthcare professional or mental health provider in your area who specializes in ADHD diagnosis and treatment.
Additionally, many universities and hospitals offer ADHD testing services. You can also check with your insurance provider to see if they cover ADHD testing and to find a list of in-network providers.
