This is not a diagnosis.

It’s a way to organise your thoughts before you talk to a professional. Only a specialist assessment can diagnose ADHD.

Think about the last six months. How often does each of these apply to you?

1I find it hard to stay focused on tasks that don’t interest me.
2I lose track of what I’m doing when something else catches my attention.
3I make careless mistakes because I miss details.
4I put off starting tasks that need a lot of thought or effort.
5I misplace things I need, like keys, my phone or paperwork.
6I forget appointments, bills or things I’ve agreed to do.
7I feel restless or find it hard to sit still for long.
8I find it hard to relax or switch off, even when I have time.
9I talk over people or finish their sentences for them.
10I make quick decisions I later regret, for example about money.
11I find waiting, such as in queues or traffic, very frustrating.
12Have these things been part of your life since you were a child?
13Do they cause real problems at work, at home or in your relationships?

About this self-check

Why these questions?

They cover the main areas a specialist asks about: attention, restlessness and impulsiveness, when things started, and how much they affect daily life.

Why can’t a quiz diagnose ADHD?

Many things can look like ADHD, such as anxiety, low mood, poor sleep or stress. A full assessment looks at your whole history and rules these out.
