Can psychologists medically diagnose learning disabilities? Or should I visit a psychiatrist? I've been having problems with attention, reading etc since I was a kid but it's just getting worse now and I'm not sure what the problem is. Please let me know! Thank you in advance

Hi psychologists can diagnose it. You need to approach the psychologist in person and you need to get an assessment done. Individuals with LD need to work with a special educator.
