Donna Hill Howes answered:Psychologists can treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) with different types of behavioral therapies. Several types of psychologists offer diagnosis and treatment services for ADHD. School and clinical psychologists are trained to diagnose ADHD. Many clinical psychologists also offer behavioral therapies to treat ADHD.
