Is It Possible To Test For ADD/ADHD Online?

default
Posted on Mon, 30 Mar 2015
Question: I have suffered depression, OCD, and anxiety my whole life. Since 16. Now, at 31, I recently found a brochure about adult ADHD and I am wondering if this is what has been keeping me from ever getting the proper treatment. The brochure was for the medication vyvannse. I am currently taking 20 mg of celexa and have been for 10 plus years. Am I able to be tested for Add/ADHD online and obtain a legitamite prescription or no?

Brief Answer:
ADD can be diagnosed by proper history

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Welcome to Health Care Magic

I can understand your concern. A lot of individuals suffering from depression have symptoms of ADD. ADD, OCD and depression are found co-morbid in a number of patients. Yes ADD can be diagnosed by proper history on basis of DSM or ICD online also. Please mention your history and clinical symptoms in detail along with time of onset, progression, duration of symptoms. For confirmation of diagnosis you have to visit a psychiatrist personally.

Vyvanse is amphetamine drug and is very useful in ADD symptoms. The drug can be prescribed to you if you get confirmed diagnosis of ADD. Online prescriptions are not legal and chemists will not accept the prescription. So I am sorry but you can't have online prescription of Vyvanse.

Thanks, Hope this helps you, if you have more doubts you can ask again.
