Is anybody from Australia, NSW, or maybe even Sydney? If so, can you maybe refer me to some good doctors/testing centres who are familiar/do good work with ADD people in the area? Thanks a whole lot.

If you look at the top left of the page under the ADD Forums logo you can click on the link that says ADD Forums. This will bring you to the main page that lists all of the forums at this site. Scroll all the way down and you will see an international section and there is a link there for Australia.

Great. Thank you.

also ben you can go the the search engine at the top of the page and type in Internations section for doctors inAustralia....

Good luck. I would be interested in how easy it is to find a Dr in Sydney who works with ADD adults. I grew up in Sydney and have lived in the US for 6 years and was diagnosed here. Growing up it always seemed that ADD was never taken seriously to the point that I have not shared my diagnosis with my family because I don't know how receptive they will be. I expect to not be believed.
Good luck

This information was orginally post by gabriella in the Austrialia section of this site. I hope you find it helpful benway to for the inforumation you are looking for abiout ADHD.

wow..well done Chris :-) I am in Western Australia..and I used the Dr who is an advisor and on the board of LADS :-)

IN the ACT it is a lot harder to get any diagnosis for some reason...???

Wow chris whip out the sources I am impressed!

All I did was post part of a thread that gabriella posted from the Austrialia site.... as I mentioned above. I just know where to go to get the information on this site. Thanks
