ADHD???

Question

Hi! So um… i looked at the DSM-5 again, and it turns out i match almost all of the symptoms required to be diagnosed with predominantly inattentive attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. While a couple of these COULD be explained by anxiety, a lot of them seem to be on their own.

So if i do, could someone help explain what the diagnostic process is like?

Answer 1

Probably just go to a therapist or something, they’ll be able to actually diagnose you officially.

Answer 2

You your parents/guardian and teachers all take a test to see which symptoms you show more or less of and then it's all determined by a therapist or a doctor or a pyschatrist and BAM you know.
