Have no medical, and do not know how to begin to seek help with ADHD.

I was diagnosed ADHD, Torrettes and ODD when I was 6 or 7, and was treated for it clinically until I turned 14 and decided to go off treatment. I was even on Social security disability until I turned 18. My adult life has consisted of me effectively failing at everything I try to do, and I now realize that ADHD is something that I cannot just willpower my way through.

The problem I have now, is that I know I need help, but I have no idea where to begin. I have no medical insurance due to recently losing yet another good job.

I live in western PA an hour or so north of Pittsburgh.
