The test that was on here (is it still there) was the same one my doc gave me. However, that wasn’t his only criteria. He is also my PCP, so he knew me for 2-3 years, seen my children, heard the stories about my dad and my brothers, put up with my excessive chattiness (VERY nice, patient guy). By the time I asked him about ADHD, he was relieved that I was finally willing to talk about it directly. I got the test, but he had about 2 years of notes he had been taking the whole time I had been seeing him.
I don’t think I could trust his diagnosis if he had just gone on the test alone. It’s just one part of the whole picture. Make sure your doc is doing a whole profile, not just the one test.
