VerifiedHello and thanks for consulting JA,
Complete the questionnaires (here is an official one). Then, make an appointment with a psychiatrist who treats ADHD. Share your observations and questionnaire with him or her. Then, you and the psychiatrist will talk about he pros and cons of medication. A trial of medication is helpful to determine if the diagnosis is accurate.

I can go as far as to say it could have resulted in saving my sons life and our entire family now knows what bipolar is and how to assist and understand my most wonderful son, brother and friend to all who loves him dearly. Thank you very much

Tracy, CA
I feel better already! Thank you.
Thank you to the Physician who answered my question today. The answer was far more informative than what I got from the Physicians I saw in person for my problem.

You have been more help than you know. I seriously don't know what my sisters situation would be today if you had not gone above and beyond just answering my questions.
Tucson, AZ
I have been dealing with an extremely serious health crisis for over three years, and one your physicians asked me more questions, gave me more answers and encouragement than a dozen different doctors who have been treating me!!
