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.
Answer a series of short questions based on how you’ve felt and functioned over the past six months.
The questionnaire should take around 3–5 minutes to complete.
Your responses are private, and you’ll receive immediate guidance based on your answers.

ADHD hos vuxna
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.

Autismspektrumstörningar
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), commonly known as autism, affects the way that a person communicates with, and relates to, other people. The National Autistic Society defines autism as 'a lifelong developmental disability which affects how people communicate and interact with the world'. People with autism spectrum disorders usually need specialist care and education. Many people feel that autism should not be called a disorder. The term autism spectrum condition is therefore sometimes used instead of autism spectrum disorder. For consistency with most NHS resources in this area, we will use the term ASD throughout this leaflet.
