I asked a question before about me not being able to consentrate and about everybody said that it might be ADD. So I searched it online and I found a test and it said that I might have a high chance of having it. So what do I do know? Do I go to psychiatrist?
if there is someone with ADD that is reading this question would give me some more info.

Go to your doctor and tell him/her your suspicion, he/she should be able to refer u appropriately..either to a psychiatrist or a psychologist, if your doctor is knowledgeable of this condition he might even prescribe you the medication you need

Yes. This is the best way to get an accurate diagnosis. Some mental helath conditions, like bipolar disorder, can look very similar. After some further testing, the dr will be able to create a treatment plan to help you cope, and will factor in such things as your dergee of severity, occupation, and family background. You may be referred to group therapy, individual therapy, or occupational therapy as well. Medication may be a major part of your treatment plan, or may not be used at all. Important thing though, is to try everything for at least one month before ruling out anything.

Good Luck!

You need to be tested by a psychiatrist. My son has ADHD (among other things) so if you get medication you will have to play with it and maybe also different kinds to find what works best for you.
Pay attention to being "spacy", lethargic, withdrawn etc.
You should just be able to concentrate better, and follow conversations with more intensity

Make an appointment with a psychologist to be evaluated. A social worker or councilor might help.

Go to a (your?) neurologist, and he/she can test you. If it turns out that you do have ADD then they'll help you out with the next steps.
