    There are many, and they depend on your situation, needs and preferences. Is it for an adult or child, and would you want/need the traditional stimulant based drug treatments (ritalin or adderall type), or the newer non-stimulant options? There are also behavioral modification/learning/coping based treatments available as well, if you want to explore this avenue. ADD is not all bad - many very intelligent/famous people have it, and you can learn to minimize the negatives and extenuate the positives. This can avoid just treating or masking the condition with medications (and their side effects/potential negatives) and thereby inadvertently losing the good attributes...
    it is up to you and your goals; just get all the information you can before making a decision. You may also want to try different options to see what works best.
    Either way, there is a TON of info available online. Just google it and start reading, taking the tests, and most importantly learning. Plenty of help is available, so good luck!
