I am very hesitant about this current "I have ADHD" trend I'm seeing on the Internet, but fuck every thing I see like this makes me feel like I do have it.

Anyone know Good, legitimate, safe resources for exploring if I have ADHD?

Take some of the questionnaires from more legitimate ADHD resource sites. Where I scored highly likely to be ADHD, my partner did not at all.

That being said, you could also undergo psychiatric assessment with a psychiatrist, but it may be a little expensive. I would recommend it if you can, because medication and appropriate psychotherapy can greatly improve quality of life.

Yeah a psychiatrist doesn't necessarily need to diagnose you. Any licensed therapist can do it, though not all will be as familiar with the assessment process. Find one who specializes in ADHD.
