Psychologists administer this screening. Child Psychologists have been screening for this disorder longer than adult Psychologists so sometimes General Physicians will refer a patient to a Child Psychologist

What happens to someone who has been misdiagnosed and has taken ADHD medication for years?

Nothing. I'm guessing that one doctor told you that you had ADHD and then another doctor told you that you didn't. This doesn't necessarily mean that either one was wrong. Most doctors now will say that ADHD is a disease, but some stubborn conventional doctors still say that ADHD isn't a disease but a personality, or that it doesn't exist. They are right in a way, but whether ADHD is a disease, a personality, or nothing at all, ADHD medications definitely help a lot of people. -DJ Craig

What kind of tests do doctors do to test patients for ADD?

One of the most simple tests for ADD/ADHD is done at a small keyboard in a darkened room...you are asked to strike the spacebar each time you see a certain letter. There will be several "distractions" during your test. This test is simple, but for the ADD/ADHD patient, it is very "telling". There are also day-long assessments that are very involved and very expensive. Should your neurologist decide that is what you need, most insurance companies will cover the cost.
