I live in a small town in Texas and Dallas is the closest major city to me. I'm looking for a psychiatrist who can tell me if I really do have ADHD or not. I don't particularly trust the doctors in my town and would prefer to go to a bigger city. Lately I've had the worst time concentrating and with school starting back up again soon I want to make sure I'm on my game.

Morgan,

I personally am not aware of psychiatrist/therapists in the dallas area, however, there are some really good resources you can go to online.

Here is one where the doctors are rated by patients:

Check those out and maybe give each one a call to see if they might be able to help.

Also, I'd recommend checking out this book for adult ADHD, which a friend of mine found helpful:

You Mean I'm Not Lazy, Stupid or Crazy?!

Hope this helps.

Just wanted to followup up.

I randomly came across this Dallas psychologists's website online:

She may be able to help with diagnosing/identifying ADHD and helping you determine the next steps in your treatment.

The ADD / ADHD Treatment Center Dallas was able to help me. Perhaps you can give them a call. the number is: (972) 943-0410

How were they able to help you? Medication? Counseling? Both?

Sure they were able to work with habits and with medications. The ADHD Dallas center is great and really helped bring out the root cause of my issues. Give them a call.
