ADHD Diagnosis

2017-09-17 18:38:36
I consulted some doctors online about the symptoms of ADHD. They told me to directly consult a psychiatrist for evaluation. They also said that the doctor would need to know about my clinical history and also involve my parents for getting more info. I want to know about the procedures and methods used for diagnosis and and I really don't want to inform my parents about this. I have nothing particularly noteworthy in my clinical history. Can the evaluation be done without involving my parents?
