How is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder diagnosed?
How Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is diagnosed: tests, specialists and the diagnostic journey, told by patients and reviewed against medical sources.
When I was diagnosed I had to go though many counseling sessions and be seen by a nurlogist and other cognitive behavioral psychologist.
It took around 5 months of the doctors and my mom, as well as my self to get everything sorted out.
I think this is the way to go....
However many times now you can see any doctor and tell them symptoms and they will diagnose you or refer you to a specialist who can and is able to prescribe those types of controlled substances.
I saw several mental health professionals and counselors before I got a diagnosis. They run a series of cognative tests, make professional observations and generally can recognize the disorder if they are proficient in their field.
