Seeking Expert: You want an expert and you want someone who will not just diagnose you unless there is full testing and a full medical and mental health history of your life as part of the assessment.

ADHD is often: Evaluated by developmental specialists, clinical psychologists, pediatricians, psychiatrist, family doctors and even general practice doctors. I believe that it is important that the evaluator be thorough in the assessment.
