Depends on what training your therapist has. They can diagnose but often they need to send you to a doctor or psychiatrist for medications. But with diagnosis in hand it is often easy enough to go to your family doctor and find appropriate meds to try. I know in Alberta, if you are referred to a psychiatrist by your family doctor then the visits cost nothing. But if you want to wait and see one of the “specialists” that specialize in ADHD then you are paying for that out of your pocket. And they charge $200.00 for 50 minutes of their time.
