How can ADHD be diagnosed?
human
Hi, I am concerned that I have ADHD, and i have tried making appointments with psychiatrists many times, but they are either not accepting new patients or are booked for months. I seem to have many symptoms of ADHD because I can t seem to focus in any of my classes, get distracted very easily, jump from topic to topic while talking, get tired easily, can t keep my attention on one thing for long periods of time, i am extremely unorganized as well. Even my professors have said my essays were very jumbled and unorganized and have questioned if I have ADHD or ADD. It is just extremely difficult for me to finish any tasks throughout my day, and I would really like some treatment.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Adult ADD is not so common and therefore you don't have to worry too much. ADD can only be diagnosed through the specific ADD test available with experts like psychiatrist or psychologist.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
