You contact a doctor, psychiatrist, psychologist, neurologist, pediatrician (for children) or licensed clinical social worker who understands ADHD and has experience in diagnosing it.
Unfortunately since many medical schools haven't adequately taught their students about how to diagnose and treat ADHD (as several medical professionals have told me), you can't assume every medical professional knows enough about ADHD to give you or your child (ADHD is 80% genetic) a proper diagnosis. Often is can be very difficult to find someone who knows enough about ADHD to accurately diagnose it.
Most of the medical professionals that do know ADHD have usually gone out of their way in investing in time and money to learn about ADHD to their credit and hopefully our gratitude.
You might want to attend a local ADD Support group to get a list of people known to diagnose ADHD in your area.
Make sure you ask them what training they have on ADHD. Maybe ask them which ADHD books they've read and how many people they've diagnosed with ADHD. If you're an Adult with ADHD you should ask them how many adults they've diagnosed with ADHD. Many just diagnose children with ADHD.
Finding someone who can diagnose ADHD.
You can search for directories or ask at your local ADHD support group.
