Absolutely: You think you might have add. Perhaps you read about it on the internet or took a self-screening test. Maybe a coworker or family member suggested the idea. Or perhaps you know someone with add and can identify with them. What's the next step? Tell your doctor of your suspicions. Add is diagnosed through an evaluation by an individual who is licensed, qualified, and, familiar with add.
