What to do next

Share these results with your primary care doctor, psychiatrist, or psychologist - you can print or screenshot this page.
A proper ADHD diagnosis involves a clinical interview, behavioral history (often going back to childhood), and ruling out other conditions like anxiety, depression, or sleep disorders.
Ask your doctor for a referral to a psychiatrist or clinical psychologist who specialises in adult ADHD.
Keep a symptom diary for 2 weeks before your appointment - note specific moments when symptoms interfered with your life.
