Wondering whether you have ADHD?
An online questionnaire can give you questions to bring to a qualified professional, but it cannot establish an ADHD diagnosis. A comprehensive evaluation considers your history, functioning, and other possible explanations for your concerns.
Third-party ADHD questionnaire
This is the external TestLibrary link previously featured on this page. It is separate from Guided Solutions counseling services. Review the provider’s pricing, subscription terms, and privacy information before entering information or purchasing a report.
Visit Questionnaire Provider ↗For an overview of the diagnostic process, read CHADD’s guide to diagnosing ADHD.
Questions about using these resources.
Where should I start?
Choose one resource that matches what you want to explore. You might begin with ADHD Basics, browse an expert’s website, or bring a handout into a conversation with your counselor.
Can I use these resources with my partner?
You can explore a resource together when both of you want to. Use it to share observations and questions rather than label each other or decide who is right. If ADHD is part of the tension in your relationship, learn about ADHD and marriage counseling.
What if a resource link won’t open?
External resources may change or require access through their provider. Contact Kelley with the resource name and the problem you encountered.
These are general educational resources, not an individualized diagnosis or treatment plan.
When ADHD is part of your relationship story.
If differences in attention, planning, or follow-through are affecting your connection, start a conversation about support for both partners.
