ADHD: Test

Do you suspect you might have ADHD? Then take the test here! This self-test from the World Health Organisation (WHO) provides initial indications of whether you may suffer from ADHD.

Important note: This test does not replace a visit to your doctor. If in doubt, your first point of contact for an official diagnosis is your family doctor or a local psychiatrist/neurologist.
And this is how it works: For each question, click on the answer that best describes how you have felt or behaved in the last 6 months.
