I was diagnosed by doing a psychological evaluation by a psychologist. Though it was my old therapist who diagnosed with me ADD once I had the suspicion it was there, I asked her to assess me. In the past I was diagnosed as having GAD and Major Depression. But since I was hypomanic, the counselor at the time didn't notice I was in a hypomanic stage. And she admitted she had difficulty discerning if people were bipolar or not. The first time I saw a psychiatrist, he said I was biopolar. I come home and a counselor said I was schizoaffective. Five years later I had an evaluation done and the psychologist found Bipolar Disorder Type II, BPD, and PTSD. So I was never actually schizoaffective.

Currently, I go by the results of the psychological eval.

The psychologist also did a neurological functioning evaluation and diagnosed me as globally mildly cognitively impaired. That's another condition.

I'm being assessed for epilepsy...or a brain tumor....some kind of neurological disorder because of seizure-like symptoms.

So I figure one of these has to explain all these problems and ADD really fits the bill upon further research.
