Q: Where can I go to get testing, now that I'm unemployed?
Hi JaChoCoTeaJa,
There are a number of options for you. First, contact your community mental health clinics to see if anyone on staff has expertise in ADHD evaluations in adults. Many of these clinics offer free services or will let you pay a reduced fee.
You can also try organizations like Catholic, Lutheran, Jewish, etc. Family Services who also will do their best to offer low or no cost services.
Other options:
Contact your local teaching hospital and see if there are any clinical studies or trials on adult ADHD that you can participate in. Typically, in exchange for being part of the studies, you'll receive an evaluation and possibly even treatment.
You can also find clinical studies being done by visiting this site: http://clinicaltrials.gov/search/term=Attention+Deficit-Hyperactivity+Disorder
Hope this helps!
