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!

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.
