What is the ADHD Self-Assessment?
The ADHD Self-Assessment screens for common symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder based on established diagnostic criteria. ADHD affects approximately 5-7% of children and 2-5% of adults worldwide, making it one of the most common neurodevelopmental conditions. ADHD manifests in three primary presentations: predominantly inattentive (difficulty focusing, forgetfulness), predominantly hyperactive-impulsive (restlessness, impulsive decisions), and combined type. Many adults with ADHD are undiagnosed because symptoms were overlooked in childhood or attributed to other factors. This screening tool asks about common ADHD-related behaviors and experiences. While it cannot provide a clinical diagnosis, it can help you understand whether your experiences align with known ADHD patterns and whether seeking professional evaluation might be worthwhile.

Frequently Asked Questions
▶Can this test diagnose ADHD?
No. This is a screening tool only. ADHD diagnosis requires comprehensive evaluation by a qualified healthcare professional, including clinical interviews and behavioral assessments.
▶What should I do if I score high?
Don't panic. A high score suggests it may be worth discussing your concerns with a doctor or psychologist who can perform a proper evaluation.
▶Is ADHD only a childhood condition?
No. While ADHD is often diagnosed in childhood, many adults live with undiagnosed ADHD. Symptoms can persist and manifest differently in adulthood.
