I need to get a psychological diagnosis online as I am currently in Africa and this is not available here. I think that I have ADHD, where and how can I get a diagnosis online?

Dr. Ivana Dabaj Pediatric Neurology
ADHD or attention hyperactivity disorder is common childhood but can be seen in adulthood. As its name says it is characterized by inattention, hyperactivity and impulsiveness. People with ADHD are usually impulsive (answer to questions rapidly without thinking well), easily distracted, cannot stay focused for a long time and are hyperactive. Sometimes not all criteria are present and as the person age the hyperactivity is less likely to be present. There are criteria for diagnosis and tests that need to be done by a psychologist to confirm the disorder but if you want you can check this medical link for details concerning adult ADHD

There are some clinics in Lebanon that provide online consultation such as Skype. It is not ideal for diagnosis purposes as some tests cannot be done but it may at least give you an idea and discuss treatment options.
