Psychiatrist: Diagnosis and treatment of adhd/add is performed by a psychiatrist. This is different to self diagnosis, or just getting a prescription for controlled and addictive substances like an amphetamine. See a psychiatrist. Good luck.

Get tested: First determine if there's a disorder. Testing with a combination of rating scales and cognitive tests is really helpful and also provides non-pharmaceutical recommendations for managing the disorder.
