I wanted to ask because I’ve been told I should try to get an evaluation. I have pretty bad concentration problems. I haven’t been able to find much on finding ADHD in a soldier already serving.

Does anyone know what they do in situations where a soldier is found to have ADHD?

Give you medication if you want. There are also different techniques you can try. You can serve with ADHD...

I suggest you see a professional. Our jobs require maximum concentration in stressful situations in the battlefield. Take a knee, get better and get back in the fight.

Already went and starting talking to a provider at BH. I totally agree, just wanted to ask. I plan on serving for 20. Either way I was going to get the evaluation, just wanted to know so I can mentally prepare if it wasn’t allowed for a soldier to continue service.

They usually just give you some Adderall. ADHD itself won't get you kicked out of the Army.
