Is online ADHD diagnosis legitimate?

Short answer

Legitimate online ADHD diagnosis requires a licensed provider, sufficient visit length, standardized assessments as indicated, medical history review, and appropriate follow-up—not an automated quiz with automatic prescriptions.

Detailed answer

Look for transparent pricing, state licensure disclosure, and refusal to guarantee stimulants before evaluation.
