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. When seeking special educational services for children and adolescents, a school psychologist may be helpful, although a clinical psychologist can also conduct a thorough ADHD evaluation.
However, psychologists are not able to prescribe medication for ADHD. Since medications are often helpful for people with ADHD, you may want to visit a physician for your medication treatment and a psychologist for in-depth behavioral and medication treatments.
