I would just add, too, that identifying the areas in your life that are affected by the ADHD (with or without hyperactivity, by the way) can be helpful. SOmetimes medication can adequately address these effects, but often it helps, in addition to medicine, to learn strategies for dealing with aspects of your life that are hard because of the ADHD. These could include therapy, or coaching on organization, information processing, legal rights for accommodations, especially if you are a student, communication with others, professionally or socially, etc.
