Hy, My name is Tyler Grant. I am 27 years old, White, Male, 5 9 , 181 pounds. I have been given a diagnosis of ADHD about 6 months ago but their were no test run. I was originally put on Strattera, then methylphenidate, and now i am on Bupropion HCL SR 100 MG, I do know that each of these medication has worked, but I would like to have some test run to see what the actually problem is, I was wondering what are the best test that are available to check for ADHD, Bipolar, Depression? Who should I go see to get the test run?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Measuring the depth and breadth of ADD, bipolar disorder and depression comes under the purview of clinical psychology. Clinical Psychologists are trained to assess the disorders and the diagnosis should be by and large accurate. Of course Psychiatrists and Psychologists are also trained. To assess and to get proper diagnosis, you can contact a trained clinical psychologist.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
