Hello
Regarding ADHD, I would suggest visiting a neuropsychologist directly (you can find excellent practionners on this website). They are specialised in evaluating cognitive functions such as attention, memory and planification, to list a few examples.
They will be more than able to help you in evaluating what's troubling you.
Take care.
Hi! If you're looking for a diagnosis you should find a psychiatrist in your area that specializes in ADHD. If your looking to understand how your ADHD symptoms impact your cognitive/emotional/social capacities you should look for a neuropsychologist in your region that should help you better understand your way of functioning.
hope you find what you're looking for!
Hello! Thanks for your question. If you want to be evaluated to receive a diagnosis, I recommend https://www.chsbelgium.org/ for English speakers. The evaluation is positive to receive information about your strenghts and weaknesses, but it won't be enough for you to learn how to cope with these issues, so I suggest you to start psychological therapy in order to acquire tools and skills to respond to your cognitive and emotional needs.

Hello there.
Thank you for your message and for the courage to address this. Please allow me to write a general answer here, hoping you have received a more detailed one. In my role as clinical psychologist, I could give you some directions and as useful, to support during the diagnosis process.
For me, an even better question would be ‘Who is in my team?’ as this is a psycho-medical condition that it is managed with a team around you. The first step is a correct diagnosis. Hoping that you have a (correct) diagnosis, I would look at the whole system around you: family - doctors (neurologist/ psychiatrist) - psychotherapist - work en...vironment - relationships. It starts with a hard work on Understanding and Accepting your condition. (with yourself, your family, your personal/professional environment). It continues with a close professional support and follow up: contact a doctor (neurologist or psychiatrist) for possible medication that will help relieve attention, agitation, impulsivity; work with a psychotherapist (a special guidance and / or behavioral psychotherapy or CBT could help you have structure in your life and manage your thousands thoughts ). There are as well various NGOs that can offer guidance and support - in Belgium the ADHD Association / TDAH in French, do a great job . (www.tdah.be ). At personal level, you could try to work with yourself: at home or work break the tasks in smaller tasks, set up a structure in everything you do and when you find difficult to focus, take a break and try to ground yourself - go for a walk, do some (even light) exercises/ sport; look around you with curiosity and observe the things, try any breathing exercises. Unfortunately, there is no ‘one rule fits all’ approach, nevertheless remember you are not alone on this journey – do not hesitate to ask/find support around you. Courage. Psychologist Luminita Rusu

You can go to a neuropsychologist who will do a neuropsychological evaluation to better understand your symptoms. They can also give you tips and advice to handle the difficulties in every day life. However, if there is a need for medication, you will need to see either a psychiatrist or a neurologist to confirm the diagnosis and get a prescription.
Hi there, I would advise you to seek help and, if it has not yet been done, take an appointment with a neuropsychologist. They will help assess your disorder and potentially give you useful tools and techniques so that you can manage your disorder more easily. After that is fine, finding a therapist that works with ADHD patients could be useful as there are a lot of comorbidities with ADHD.
Hope this helps.
First, you should see a neuropsychologist, to make sure this is the right diagnosis. After that, you can see a neuropsychologist every week or so for follow up sessions and concrete strategies to overcome the difficulties. Let me know if you have any other question :)
