It is based on the ASRS v1.1, the six-question screener developed by the World Health Organization to identify adults whose answers are consistent with ADHD.
No. A screening tool indicates whether your answers are consistent with ADHD, but only a licensed clinician can make a diagnosis. In adults this requires a structured assessment that reviews your history and rules out other explanations.
About two minutes. It is six questions about how you have felt over the past six months.
If few traits emerge, that does not rule ADHD out and does not explain everything you may be feeling. If several emerge, it is worth exploring properly with a professional rather than settling for a self-diagnosis. Therapsy offers a free first call with a licensed therapist who speaks your language.
Yes. The test is anonymous: your answers are not linked to your identity and no email is required to see the result.
The test is in English, but therapy at Therapsy is available in 14 languages, so you can discuss your result with a therapist who speaks your native language.
A high score means your answers are consistent with patterns worth exploring, not that you have ADHD. Many adults arrive here after years of wondering. The recommended next step is a conversation with a licensed professional – at Therapsy the first call is free.
