Questions people ask

What is ADHD?

A neurodevelopmental condition that affects attention, activity and impulse control. It starts in childhood and often carries into adult life.

What's the difference between ADD and ADHD?

ADD is the old name. Doctors have called it all ADHD since 1987. What people mean by ADD is now the inattentive type.

Is ADHD a mental illness?

It's classed as a neurodevelopmental condition: a difference in how the brain develops, not an illness that comes and goes.

Is this the same as the NHS ADHD test?

Many GPs and clinics use this same WHO screener as a first step. A diagnosis still needs a full assessment with a specialist.

Can an online ADHD test diagnose me?

No. It shows whether your symptoms are frequent enough to be worth an assessment. Only a clinician can diagnose.
