Struggling to focus. Starting tasks but not finishing them. Feeling constantly distracted, overwhelmed, restless, or as though your mind never switches off.
For some people, these experiences may be linked to Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) - a neurodevelopmental condition that can affect attention, organisation, impulse control, energy levels, and day-to-day routines.
ADHD is often associated with childhood, but many people are not recognised until adulthood. In some cases, symptoms may have been misunderstood, masked, or attributed to stress, anxiety, personality, or simply being “busy”.
This screening tool is designed to help you reflect on common traits associated with ADHD in adults. It can help you understand whether it may be worth speaking to a healthcare professional.

ADHD in adults
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) causes problems with concentrating (inattention), and being too active and having difficulty staying focused (hyperactivity). The difficulties caused by ADHD vary from mild to severe. Although ADHD starts in childhood, the difficulties often persist into adulthood. Sometimes adults are diagnosed with ADHD for the first time because the problems have not been properly assessed and the diagnosis not made during childhood. Attention deficit disorder (ADD) is a term used for people who have excessive difficulties with concentration without other ADHD symptoms such as excessive impulsiveness or hyperactivity.

ADHD in children
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a behavioural condition that can range from mild to severe. There are different types of ADHD, depending on whether inattention (problems with concentrating) or hyperactivity-impulsivity (being too active - difficulty staying focused) is the main issue.
