The Most Accurate 5 min ADHD Assessment For Adults
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental condition that can affect how you think, process emotions, and respond to your environment. Though this condition is commonly diagnosed in children and teens, it can be diagnosed in adults, too. Not everyone has the same symptoms or experiences ADHD in the same way. ADHD can look different for everyone. For example, symptoms of ADHD in children might look and feel different than in adults. Your symptoms will also depend on the type of ADHD you have. The major symptoms of ADHD include inattention and hyperactivity or impulsivity.
How Accurate Is This ADHD Assessment For Adults?
This assessment is NOT a diagnostic tool. Mental health disorders can only be diagnosed by qualified mental health professionals.
We believe assessments can be a valuable first step toward getting treatment. All too often people stop short of seeking help out of fear their concerns aren’t legitimate or severe enough to warrant professional intervention.
The content on this website is intended to provide general information about the symptoms of ADHD in adults and is not for diagnostic purposes. Nothing on this website replaces talking with your healthcare professional to assess your condition and determine the need for a treatment plan appropriate for you. The information on this site is not intended to make a diagnosis or to take the place of talking to a US healthcare professional.
