Seeking Help: Where to Get Diagnosed with ADHD?
Top Replies
Hi there! I understand how overwhelming it can feel to start this process. A great first step is to schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a mental health professional, like a psychologist or psychiatrist, who has experience with ADHD. They can provide an evaluation and discuss potential next steps with you.
Additionally, some community health clinics, universities, and local mental health organizations may offer ADHD assessments and support. It's essential to find a professional who understands ADHD and can provide a comprehensive evaluation. Don't forget to ask about their experience and qualifications during your initial consultation.
It's important to remember that diagnosing ADHD can take time and may involve various assessments. Be patient with yourself throughout this process, and try to find a support system that can help you navigate any challenges you might face along the way.
