In short I’ve been suspecting for a while that I have ADHD but I don’t know how to go about figuring that out. I don’t want to come across as one of those weird people obsessed with being diagnosed with disorders but I also don’t want to be passive about this, so I’d like to at least get tested by a professional when it comes to this kind of thing.
How were you tested for these kinds of things, especially people who were only diagnosed as an adult? Is it something you bring up to your primary physician?
In Australia you talk to your primary doc to get a referral to a psychiatrist. Diagnosis as an adult they will both be suspicious that you are just after amphetamines. My brother succeeded with a diagnosis as adult. Best of luck.
