ADHD Self-Assessment for Adults

This self-assessment is for adults who recognise patterns of attention inconsistency, executive function difficulty, or cognitive restlessness in themselves and want to understand whether these patterns warrant clinical evaluation. It is not a diagnostic tool. ADHD requires a structured psychiatric evaluation. What this assessment does is help you identify patterns clinically associated with adult ADHD so you can approach a consultation with clarity.

What This Assessment Covers

The attention and focus self-assessment evaluates five domains:

  • Attentional consistency – how reliably you sustain focus across different types of tasks
  • Task initiation and follow-through – the pattern of starting, maintaining, and completing work
  • Working memory and organisation – how reliably your mind retains and surfaces commitments
  • Emotional regulation – your response pattern to frustration, failure, and perceived criticism
  • Sleep and arousal regulation – sleep onset pattern, circadian rhythm, daily energy arc

The assessment takes approximately five minutes. Your responses are private.

What Your Results Mean

Low: patterns not clinically significant

Your responses do not suggest a pattern consistent with adult ADHD. Cognitive difficulties are more likely explained by anxiety, sleep disruption, burnout, or situational stress.

Moderate: patterns present, clinical evaluation recommended

Your responses suggest patterns associated with adult ADHD that warrant clinical evaluation. This does not confirm the diagnosis. It indicates that a structured psychiatric assessment is the appropriate next step.

High: patterns strongly consistent with adult ADHD

Your responses are strongly consistent with the clinical presentation of adult ADHD. A psychiatric evaluation is recommended, Continued self-management is unlikely to significantly improve the pattern without clinical intervention.

After the Assessment

If your result suggests evaluation is warranted, the next step is a structured psychiatric consultation with Dr. Chitrakshee. The consultation reviews your assessment responses alongside a comprehensive clinical interview to determine what is primary, ADHD, anxiety, burnout, or a combination, and what the appropriate treatment plan looks like.

What Clinical Evaluation Addresses

Effective treatment follows the same evidence base as for adults generally. Specific clinical considerations for women include adjusting stimulant dosing across the menstrual cycle, and ensuring co-occurring anxiety and depression are also treated, not only the ADHD.

Your self-assessment result is the beginning of the conversation.

A psychiatric consultation provides the clinical answer.
