Question : How can I find out if I have ADD and what doctor do I go to for treatment?
Hello XXXXXXX,
Thanks for posting your query.
If you find difficulty in concentrating, have forgetfulness, have difficulty in completing a work and have tendency to start the other, forced from inside to speak you may be having ADD or a Hypomania.
A XXXXXXX psychiatrist would be a good specialist to make a diagnosis.
If no one around then a physician would be the next good choice.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have any follow up queries or doubts, you can forward them for me, and I shall be glad to help you.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
