My doctor in the states was willing to do what she called a "clinical diagnosis". After filling out a short questionnaire, my score indicated I may have ADHD. She prescribed a medication for me to try. The idea was if the medication helps, and doesn't make me feel bad, then it would indicate I have ADHD.
It helped. I do. That was it!
