Question 1

which kind of doctor should i see if i want my son 19 years to be tested for add?

Accepted Answer

Psychiatrist/neuro: I have great reluctance to accept the ADD label for anyone who did not have it as a kid. There are a great number of other issues of health/sleep/ nutrition that have some overlapping symptoms. If you want accurate testing/diagnosis find those with the most skill, rather than a doc who would just hand out the pill for the asking.

Accepted Answer

If : If add is the only problem and you have been stable on the same medication on the same dosage for a while, then usually this can be followed by a general or family practice physician.  However, there are some general and family physicians who do not prescribe psychotropic medications. So, as you are looking for your new doctor, inquire as to whether he or she is willing to prescribe simple  (not requiring multiple psychiatric medications) psychiatric medications.  Good luck.
