I really think I have ADD, would like answers?


I'm almost positive I have ADD or something like it,i know something is wrong with me and i think anyone with ADD could tell u the same, i know im not like other ppl, i took these test online and they all pointed too ADD, and theres different types of ADD and these test said I likely have "ring of fire" , Temporal, or limbic add, i know i cant take these test as a diagnoses, i know i have one of these, but i dont know where to go. Do i see a regular Dr. or some type of therapist, if i have to take drugs for it, are they expensive, are therapist or someone who deals with these problems expensive, what kind of testing do they do, can it get worse over a few years,i use to be alright in math and reading, now it really hard to focus, im only 19, and i live in salt lake city, anyone know where to go,

My son and I both have ADHD. For my son to be checked for ADHD I had to take him to a therapist and then she got him in to a shrink to prescribe the meds. For me I just went to the family Dr. The testing they do is real simple, for example they will mabye have you read a little bit of a story and then ask you to tell them what you remember from what you just read, or they may show a shopping list give you a few seconds to remember as many thing as possible, and then you either tell the dr. what the items were or write them down on paper. My son and I are both on adderall and when I had to pay cash for my meds it cost 40.00 dollars for 60 of the 20mgs. If you have insurance they will most likely pay for meds and office visits, you may have to get a pre - authorization from the insurance company to pay for the meds first since you are over 18, but it usually don't take long . I had to get a pre authorization and it only took 24 hrs. Hope this helps

yeah..calm down. your only thinking that it may get worse. for some people it may i guess, Adult ADD is very common now a days....and it mostly gets miss treated for something else. when you hear about ADD or ADHA you automatically thing about kids having it. I had ADHD growing up and lemme tell you. it does slow down some but it hasnt completely gone away...i can more now but some days it takes strenght just to do that. I like to space out alot. try going to your local behavioral health clinic and usually they'll make payment plans if thats an issue for you.
