Psychiatry: The evaluation for adhd is very involved. It involves questionnaires (connor, burke), IQ testing, psychological evaluation to rule out mood disorders/personality disorders, medical screening for vitamin deficiencies, thyroid disorders, etc. You would best be served by seeing a psychiatrist.

Start with your doc: People perform their best when well rested, properly nourished, in good health & a comfortable setting. These are also components that must be part of a baseline evaluation for focus disorders. Your doc can help verify your state of health & review your sleep symptoms. A sleep study may be needed. If the basics are okay they can refer you to a psychiatrist for the rest of the evaluation.

Options : Many primary care physicians are very good at treating adhd. A psychiatrist is more qualified of course but psychiatric care is not always affordable or easy to find. People with adhd and significant psychiatric conditions should see a psychiatrist.
