Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. You are correct. Correct Diagnosis about your mental disorder is the first step towards early cure. You may approach either a clinical psychologist or a psychiatrist. In my opinion, it should be clinical psychologist first, because, most of the time, ADD can be treated with just Cognitive Behavioral Therapies and without medicines. If medicines are needed, the psychologist will advice you so, and then you can consult psychiatrist.
