A member asked:

Please explain who's the proper doctor you should see for adhd diagnosis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

ADHD: Typically either a neurologist or a psychiatrist, especially those who document that they specialize and are familiar with adhd diagnoses. For pediatric patients, school system can sometimes assist with finding appropriate practitioner. There are formal tests that can be done to assess for this.
