Suggest Method To Confirm Attention Deficit Disorder

hello I have some concerns with my mental health. its nothing severe I think I may possibly suffer from ADD and possibly anxiety or depression. I have taken several online tests and they all say I have moderate to severe adult ADD. I have been experiencing these problems since I was around 8 years old. I just wanted to speak with a doctor other than my own before I went to her because I don t want to go to her with concerns and she tell me there isn t anything wrong and then have to face her every time I go to the doctor. I don t want to look weak

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi

I understand your concern.
I appreciate you that you have made research on net about your illness.

But only way to diagnose ADHD is clinical history in detail.

And best diagnosed by psychiatrist.

There is no blood test or any other investigation for ADHD.

Psychiatrist can diagnose it with your history and clinical presentations.

So consult best psychiatrist in your town.

Thank you.
