Finding an ADHD Specialist Near Me

Here is what the ADHD specialist can do:

​ADHD specialists are professionals who diagnose and treat ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). The specialist may be a psychologist, a psychiatrist, or a neurologist.
 
Though all of these can diagnose and treat the disease, only licensed and qualified physicians such as a psychiatrist or neurologist can prescribe medication and perform physical evaluations to identify potential alternative causes of symptoms.
 
If you are seeking counseling, you can choose a psychiatrist, psychologist, or an expert therapist. If you need medications, then you will need to see a psychiatrist or child psychiatrist who specializes in ADHD medications. A national 2016 parent survey revealed that about 6.1 million children were diagnosed with ADHD.
 
It is important to note that the problem may not end with the discovery and treatment of ADHD. You may need counseling sessions to change learned negative behaviors.

Here is What the ADHD Specialist Does:

​-Obtains medical and family history
-Conducts or orders a neurological exam and/or a general physical
-A comprehensive interview with you and your child
-Use screening tools for ADHD
​-Observes child at school or play
​-Uses psychological tests to assess emotional and social behavior and to measure IQ

Symptoms of ADHD


An ADHD specialist diagnoses ADHD in patients by identifying the following common symptoms of ADHD:
 
Common Inattention symptoms:

  • Failing to give attention to detail and making frequent mistakes
  • Difficulty sustaining attention while partaking in activities
  • Failing to finish workplace duties or schoolwork
  • Not able to listen when spoken with directly
  • Difficulty organizing activities

How to find a qualified ADHD specialist?


​Follow these steps to find the best ADHD specialist for you or your child:

  • Get recommendations: Your trustworthy therapists, doctors, and friends may refer you to a good specialist. Ask as many questions as you want about their recommendation and try them out.
  • Do your homework: Research about professional certification and academic degrees of the recommended specialists. Have a conversation with former patients to find out their experience with the ADHD specialist.
  • Be Comfortable: You must feel comfortable and open with the specialist. Be yourself and be honest with the specialist. 
​The specialist’s role
 
No laboratory or imaging tests unilaterally diagnose ADHD.  A thorough evaluation is needed to identify the correct diagnosis. Make sure you communicate with your physician openly and honestly.

I want to use this opportunity to testify of the marvelous work of Dr. Odunga and how he has helped me in curing my sickness and bringing happiness into my life. I can really vouch for Dr. Odunga in herbal treatment. I was suffering from Cervical Cancer and infected with HPV 16. I used to have incessant bleeding and there was nothing I could do until a childhood friend introduced me to Dr. Odunga Remedies. I spoke with him and ordered his recommended medication which was delivered to me through DHL. Immediately I began using the herbal medicine, within a  week I couldn't feel any pain. It took me 2 weeks to finish the medicine and afterwards I was completely cured. I highly recommend that you contact him to help you at his email [email protected] OR What'sApp/Call him at +2348167159012

He is 100% reliable to help you too.

Do you find your problem hard for you? Are you finding it difficult looking for a reliable herbal healer to cure your cancer? I say this because I have been helped by Lord Krish Spiritual in restoring happiness into my life. My mother has been sick with Stage 4 Melanoma Cancer which nearly took the life of my mother. I was sad because of this sickness and I didn't know what to do to save my mother's life. I would never have met Lord Krish if my friend had not introduced him to me by telling me about a spell caster who has helped so many people worldwide. I contacted Lord Krish at [email protected] and within 3 days, I received herbal medicine from him through a courier and I used it on my mother. Within a week, mother was cured and healed. I would advise anyone out there to Contact Lord Krish at [email protected] and meet him to help you
