Thank you for your question and welcome to ADHDCentral.com.

 

I am sorry that you are going through a tough time right now. So many people are experiencing financial problems and there are so many that do not have health insurance and are unable to get the medical treatment they need. 

 

There are online screening tests for ADHD that you can take. These are not meant for diagnostic purposes, but can be used to determine if you should see a doctor. You can also print out the results and bring with you when you do find a doctor. 

 

Online Screening Tests for ADHD

 

I also just posted some information on AnxietyConnection.com listing a number of places that provide mental health care as well as places you can call for referrals for clinics or other places which provide free health care. Should you receive a diagnosis for ADHD and require medication, there is also a number of resources to help you get medication.

I hope this helps. Please let me know how it works out.
