About this self-check

Is this an ADHD test or a diagnosis?
No. It is a short self-check of how often you notice common signs of ADHD. Only a qualified clinician can diagnose ADHD, after looking at your history and ruling out other causes.
What should I do with a high score?
Talk to a GP or family doctor. They can listen and refer you to a psychiatrist or psychologist who assesses ADHD in adults. Bringing examples of how it affects your days helps.
Is anything I answer saved?
No. The questions are answered and scored in your browser. Nothing is sent, stored or counted, and it is gone when you leave the page.

This toolbox is for information and everyday support, not medical advice. If ADHD is affecting your life, a doctor or a qualified clinician can help.
