Are therapists not allowed to diagnose ADHD? I'm curious because my therapist suspected I might have ADHD and he referred me out to someone else (a psychiatric nurse practitioner) to make a diagnosis. This seems to jibe with what you're saying AniManiac. I know therapists diagnose depression, anxiety, PTSD, etc., but not ADHD?
