Suggest Treatment For ADHD

I am 40 years old and believe I have ADD. All of my siblings are nurses and they tell me I have all the signs of it. I have taken quizzes and they said that I have ADD. My question is how do I start the process of seeing a doctor about it. It is very embarrassing for me, but it is really starting to hurt my life on several levels.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. You did take quizzes. You did go through the details regarding ADD. You are almost sure that you are showing signs of ADD. But let me tell you an intricate opinion. The more you dwell into ADD information (in the beginning) the more you will find the symptoms of ADD in you. That is called internship syndrome. No problems. You should consult a psychologist who assess you impartially with his own assessment tools and then he will give you your diagnosis. If you are confirmed ADD you should request his advice. He may ask you to consult a psychiatrist or to take his psychotherapy treatment. Do as he tells you. God bless you.

Good luck.
