ADHD self assesment?


I took an ADHD self assessment, it says i have a high likelihood of having ADHD. I would like to get this diagnosed and treated. They suggest to 'print and bring your results' to the doctor. What will the doctor think of this? Do you think that will help or harm my case for medications such as Adderal or Ritalin?

You would only need those drugs if you are a kid and out of control, to hyper.
ADHD is two problems put together, I wish they would be kept apart.
ADD is the Attention Deficit Disorder. It causes a person to lose their attention and think about other things to much. The only way to control that is work on keeping your attention. I have found that deep breathing helps there too. ADD people are also bad spellers. ADD are terrible at remembering where they put things, so papers and books are usually left out on tables to remind them of them. And they can get quite stacked up.
The Hyperactivity is just that. If you are mature enough all you have to do is decide to control yourself and control yourself and your Hyperactivity will soon be gone.

If your doctor is any good it will neither harm nor help you. It will just point him or her in a direction that you want assessed. This problem should be treated by a psychiatrist, not a primary care physician. Although primary care doctors are wonderful for a lot of things, they can mis-medicate for psychiatric disorders.
