Different places with diff doctors/psychologists will approach it in different ways. I was diagnosed by a pscyhologist (I had to pay out of pocket) by a detailed questionaire of family history, symptoms, etc & then had tests done to check my reponses with stimulation about & without (long & boring).

But just because I had a diagnosis done doesn't mean it was accepted by other doctors; & psychologists can't prescribe meds. They can recommend them but there's still a lot of doctors who think it unnecessary to give meds to adults. They ascribe to the idea either that people outgrow ADD, or that if you got this far in life without meds, you won't need them now. Finding a cooperative doctor is a real pain.
