Can ADHD be diagnosed without a test?

Testing alone cannot diagnose symptoms of ADHD. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD or ADD) is a nuanced neurological condition with three distinct sub-types, symptoms that appear along a spectrum of severity, and overlapping comorbid conditions that often complicate diagnosis and treatment.

How do I get diagnosed for ADHD?

If you are concerned about whether a child might have ADHD, the first step is to talk with a healthcare provider to find out if the symptoms fit the diagnosis. The diagnosis can be made by a mental health professional, like a psychologist or psychiatrist, or by a primary care provider, like a pediatrician.

Can you fake ADHD?

So rather than faking ADHD, many ADHD adults do not recognize that they have symptoms of the disorder. That said, we also know from research studies that, when asked to pretend that they have ADHD, adults can fake the disorder.
