Could I have ADHD? A private self-screening checklist
A private, in-browser checklist to help you reflect on whether your experiences might be consistent with ADHD. No data is stored or submitted. This is not a diagnosis — but it may help you decide whether to seek one.
Before you begin
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition affecting attention regulation, impulse control, and executive function. In adults — and particularly in women — it often looks very different from the hyperactive child stereotype.
Answer based on how things are most of the time, not just on a good day. Think about your life as a whole. Many adults with ADHD have developed extensive coping strategies that mask their difficulties — consider the effort those strategies cost you, not just whether they “work.”
