Brief Answer:
ADHD can be diagnosed by clinical&psychological assessment by an expert.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Carbakal2216,
Thanks for the query .I understand your concern.

Can you let me know which symptoms you are experiencing?
No diagnostic laboratory test is needed /used for diagnosis of ADHD. It is a behavioral disorder,&can be clinically diagnosed by a psychologist after interviewing &observing patient.
If you see some symptoms in yourself,you should take expert help earliest for diagnosis & treatment (which consists of psychotherapy, behavioral therapy &some stimulent medications like Adderal or anti hypertensives as per need in a dose advised &followed by expert)
There is nothing to be tense in having the problem....on the other hand stressing & doing nothing for help would increase the problem
.An expert advise,careful follow up of the instructions given &self determination /positive attitude can manage the condition effectively.
Please consult an expert ADHD specialist or Psychologist .
I hope that answers your query.Any follow up query is welcome.
Thanks.
