So, I a very sure that I have ADHD.  I have always wondered, but been too afraid to bring it up with my parents.  Now, I am 20 and have looked into the symptoms and realized that there are very few that I cannot relate to.  We don't have a general practitioner, so I am planning on visiting with a doctor recommended by a friend.
As far as diagnosis goes, what is the procedure?

Thanks a bunch, LW!

to see a doctor first you retard.  

 and based on the symptoms, every person in the world has ADD or ADHD.

not realy
its induced by long periods of time spent watching TV usually
most people dont have it but its the effects of TV so they think they do

You're claiming it's caused by TV? Not only is there little to no evidence to support that claim, but perhaps you'd like to explain why I have a severe case, and almost never watched TV. My family never even got cable, because we never saw the point.
