How can I tell if I have ADD?

Question

I have been to many sites on adult ADD. On every one I have 99% of they symptoms. But how is it diagnosed? Is this something I should be concerned about? If I do have it do I need to see a doctor? What could they do for me?

Thanks

Are you an English teacher Michael? Why do you think I care if my grammar or spelling is correct? Why do you think you have the right to correct it? You're just a jerk with no life!

But thanks everyone else...it very appreciated. I think I will get checked out...I need some kind of relief.

Answer 2

ADHD is one of those catch 22s allot of different conditions have VERY similar symptoms and can EASILY be confused with ADHD ONLY a well qualified Doctor can make a diagnosis.

Answer 3

You should really see a doctor/psychiatrist/psychologist so you can go through a screening process which contributes to a diagnosis.

Answer 4

Your best bet would be to go to a professional who is qualified to diagnose ADHD. They administer written tests, and if it is determined that you have it, you can get the treatment you need.

Answer 7

You have it backwards, my friend... "If I do have it should I see a doctor?"
You go see a doctor to find out if you have it. If so, he/she will know what to do. Don't self diagnose. You're no expert.
