Hi there,

Good luck in beginning the process of diagnosis. ADHD expert Dr. Patricia Quinn has answered this very question in ADHD Diagnosis Cost -- she explains:

The amount really depends on who is diagnosing you (family practitioner, psychiatrist, psychologist, social worker, etc.) and whether you have neuropsychological testing or not. The cost could run from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. Most public mental health clinics have staff that can diagnose but the waiting time for an appointments is usually several months.

Thank you for the articles. Unfortunately, my comunity mental health center won't diagnose ADHD. If I can get diagnosed, they can treat me, but they don't test for it or diagnose me.
