[QUOTE="kris, post: 19395, member: 74"] i think girls are grossly underdiagnosed when it comes to adhd. they are far less inclinded to be swining from the ceiling lights....they are more likely to be easily distracted.....the typical dreamer. i'd start with-her primary care physician. hopefully he will feel capable of trialing her on either strattera or a stimulant & hopefully the first trial will yield good results. i don't hold that everyone with-add needs to be seen by a psychiatrist. it's not a psychiatric disorder tho it does have mental health implications. add/adhd is neurological at it's base. if primary care doctor doesn't feel qualified he will most certainly refer you out....at least for the evaluation. hopefully after that he will handle medication management for you. kris [/QUOTE]
