There are many quick screenings for ADHD, but they can be prone to biases. The only way to truly know if you have ADHD, and/or other conditions that frequently co-occur with it, is to get an accurate assessment by a qualified expert.

Neuropsychological and psychological testing are ideal ways to more precisely evaluate you for ADHD and related conditions, and to really understand your cognitive and psychological strengths and challenges.

From such an exam, a broad treatment plan can be developed and personalized just for you. That level of attention just isn’t available from a quick screening. ADHD causes a range of problems in teen and adults, but it is frequently misdiagnosed or overlooked, so be sure to rely on someone who really knows ADHD and treats your concerns with care.
