Is this ADHD quiz accurate?

This ADHD screening quiz uses DSM-5 diagnostic criteria - the same criteria psychiatrists use. However, only a trained clinician can provide an official ADHD diagnosis through comprehensive evaluation.

How many symptoms do I need for ADHD?

Adults need 5+ symptoms of inattention or hyperactivity-impulsivity. Children need 6+ symptoms. Symptoms must be present for 6+ months and cause impairment in multiple settings.

Can I diagnose myself with ADHD from this quiz?

No, self-diagnosis is not sufficient. This quiz screens for ADHD symptoms but professional evaluation by a psychiatrist or psychologist is required for official diagnosis and treatment.

What should I do if I score high on this ADHD quiz?

Schedule a comprehensive ADHD evaluation with a psychiatrist or psychologist experienced in ADHD assessment. Bring the quiz results to your appointment.
