Where to get help

Where to start

1. See your family doctor or your child's pediatrician. They check for other possible causes and can refer you to a specialist.¹
2. A psychiatrist, or for children a child psychiatrist, makes the diagnosis.¹
3. The choice is yours. For a child under 16, the parent chooses the outpatient service and the doctor, and can stop an examination or treatment at any time.²

A one-page sheet helps you prepare for the appointment.

The state provides community mental health services, including outpatient psychiatric services and mobile mental health teams.² Ask your family doctor which outpatient psychiatric service covers your area. Most specialists who work with ADHD are in Tbilisi, so a first assessment may mean a trip to the capital.⁶
