Attention Deficit
How do people find out if they have Attention Deficit Disorder?
…
I was asking more along the lines of how do they test you for it? What do they do to find out?
Some of these answers crack me up!
Just like the previous person, I never would have guessed I had ADD. Someone mentioned it to me, and I did some research into adults and women with ADD. Fascinating!
To get diagnosed, I went to a psychologist, and he gave me a couple of rating scales to fill out. I had my ex-husband fill one out, as he knows me the best, and I filled one out. The psychologist did an extensive interview to find out my history – school, mental health, trauma, family life, etc. This can help him rule out other things that can look like ADD but have a different treatment.
Really, it is important to see a psychologist, as they are trained to do assessments such as this.
