Diagnosis: See a psychiatrist or psychologist for a psychological assessment. The doctor may conduct a thorough interview and provide some simple questionaires for you, your family, and fellow workers. The doctor may also give you some psychological tests, some of which may be computerized.

Consult experts: In order to diagnose adult ADD you need a thorough evaluation. This should start with a neurologist and neuropsychological testing, to determine the cause of the inattentiveness, including inherited forms, acquired due to brain trauma, medications, endocrine problems like thyroid disorders, anxiety, depression, diet, sleep disorder, degenerative conditions requiring medical evaluation.
