A psych eval...: Is your best bet, and should be where you start at any rate - esp. If symptoms warrant treatment. Surprisingly, "type" of adhd has little implication in its treatment. Over the past few decades, the different types have more-or-less merged as we've come to understand better the many ways it can present. Managing impulses, restlessnes and distractibility are similar and respond to similar treatment.

ASK: The type of adhd is not as important as do you have adhd? How to treat it correctly? Is there something else going on.Adhd should only be diagnosed by an experienced, knoledgable clinician after a thorugh evaluation.Quick screens are only that, quick screens..They are not diagnositic.
