I've been reading the symptoms of attention deficit disorder and i have alot of them so i would like to goto a specialist and get checked out to see if i have it, how severe it is, and if i might need to try medication for it.

What type of specialist/doctor should i look to schedule an appointment with to get me answers to those questions?

thanks

I have a regular mental health doctor and she does diagnosing for ADD as well as a multitude of other things. I don't know what might be in your area, but if you have a Community Mental Health facility near you, I would suggest that as a first step. My daughter and my stepson both have ADHD and are treated at the same place I go. I hope this helps and good luck
