for UK adults.

Q: Is this ADHD test valid in the UK?

Yes. The ASRS-v1.1 is recommended in NICE guidelines as a first-line screening tool for adult ADHD in the UK. It is used by NHS GPs and private psychiatrists as a starting point before formal assessment.

Q: How do I get an ADHD diagnosis on the NHS?

Book a GP appointment and bring your screener results. Ask for a referral to a specialist ADHD service. NHS waiting times vary significantly by region — some areas offer Right to Choose, which allows you to be assessed by a private provider at NHS cost. Check the ADHD UK website for current guidance.

Q: What is the Right to Choose scheme?

Right to Choose is an NHS scheme that lets patients choose their provider for mental health services, including ADHD assessment. This can significantly reduce waiting times. Ask your GP about eligibility — not all referrals qualify, and availability varies by region.

Q: How much does a private ADHD assessment cost in the UK?

Private ADHD assessments in the UK typically range from £400 to £900 depending on the provider and thoroughness of assessment. Some providers offer shared care arrangements where your GP manages ongoing prescription under a private diagnosis.

Based on the WHO-validated ASRS-v1.1. Takes 2 minutes. Get an instant breakdown of your scores — then know exactly what to say to your GP.

This is a screening tool only - not a diagnostic instrument. It cannot diagnose ADHD. Only a qualified mental health or medical professional can diagnose ADHD after a full clinical evaluation. Use these results as a conversation-starter with your doctor.

An estimated 2.5 million adults in the UK live with ADHD - most undiagnosed.

If your results suggest ADHD, book an appointment with your GP and share your screener results. Under NHS guidelines, your GP can refer you to a specialist ADHD service - though NHS waits can be 1–5 years. Private assessments typically take 2–8 weeks and cost £400–£900. The Right to Choose scheme may allow faster NHS access via private providers.

Remember: A high score does not mean you have ADHD, and a low score does not rule it out. Many conditions share symptoms with ADHD. This tool is based on the ASRS-v1.1, a validated screener, but screening is not diagnosis.

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.
