ADHD specialists include pediatric neurologists and child psychiatrists for children and adolescents, and neurologists or psychiatrists for adults. These ADHD specialists are the most appropriate professionals to diagnose ADHD and recommend the right treatment approach, which may include ADHD medication.

Although laboratory tests are not required to confirm ADHD, doctors may review reports from teachers, caregivers, or other professionals to help identify ADHD symptoms. In some cases, a neuropsychological evaluation may also be requested.
