How to Get Tested for ADHD as an Adult: What You Need to Know

Getting tested for ADHD as an adult can feel like a maze. The good news is: it doesn't have to be overwhelming if you know what to expect.

The process involves a conversation, a history, and a look at how your brain works today.

Once you have a diagnosis, see how our post-diagnosis ADHD services help you turn it into practical change.

Who Can Diagnose ADHD?

In many places, psychiatrists, psychologists, and some physicians can diagnose ADHD. Occupational therapists do not diagnose ADHD, but they can help you understand the functional impact and support you after diagnosis. Not sure how to find the right person?
