Suggest Remedy For ADHD

Hi, I've recently completed a online self assessment for ADHD and the results indicate that it might be a problem. I'm considering going to a walk in clinic with these results to get a prescription of Adderall as I have taken it in the past and found it beneficial in the short term while I get my life back on track. I have no family doctor in this city because of my move to this city.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a developmental neuropsychiatric disorder in which there are significant problems with executive functions (e.g., attentional control and inhibitory control) that cause attention deficits, hyperactivity, or impulsiveness which is not appropriate for a person's age. Once you start relying on online assessments, you will find you are affected.

You should consult a psychiatrist for differential diagnosis because most of the psychiatric symptoms overlap with many types of mental disorders.
