A member asked:
How are adults diagnosed with adhd? do adults have the same testing to diagnose adhd as children, or is the process different?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See answer: Diagnosis of adhd/add requires a clinical interview by an experienced professional like a psychiatrist. There is also testing that can be done but diagnosis is not based on testing alone. The process is similar in children.
