Adult attention disorder

Hi, for accurate assessment and treatment of adult attention deficit disorder, should I consult a psychiatrist or a neurologist? I had initially consulted a psychiatrist who gave me an MCMI test and the results showed ADD and moderate depression. I was on Inspiral for a while and while it was making me feel happier, it didn't help much with focus.
