Where to get adult ADHD Testing?

[themechanic]

Where and from whom can I get the full range of cognitive tests for a diagnosis of adult ADHD? I'm in Bangkok.

Thank you for this recommendation. However, the earliest appointment that they have with an English speaking doctor is on July 21st.

Would you know of any other place I could possibly try?

Thanks again

This is the best one.  It is difficult to find a Thai psychiatrists familiar with adult onset ADHD. Most will tell you it does not exist.

 

You could try the government psych hospital  but will not be on par  https://www.somdet.go.th/public/Eng/main.php

Hi Sheryl, any thoughts on Lighthouse Counseling?

What do you plan to do with this information if you are diagnosed?  I've often thought that I match pretty much all the symptoms of ADD, but isn't it a little late once you're an adult?

 

I wish I had known about it when I was at school.

What do you mean little late? I am not dead nor have I given up on life. If I can be medicated I intend to achieve my goals and get ahead, be more productive and fulfilled.

What do you do now to ease your struggles? 
 

There are some key things that might help, like your daily routines, stay away from known trigger factors, diet, alcohol, sleep, exercise and relaxing techniques. All this is common things to control or do if you struggle no matter diagnose you might have.

Seem to be new. I don't have any feedback as yet.

Posting a followup to this.

Eric @ Lighthouse linked to above administered a TOVA test and thorough questionnaire to me and gave me my official diagnosis 2 years ago.

However, he can't prescribe the medication and he referred me to Dr. Donna at Medconsult who set me up with a Ritalin prescription. To say that it has been life changing (in a positive way) would be an understatement.
