Does my teen have ADHD?

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can impact focus, organization, emotional regulation, and daily functioning. While only a professional can diagnose ADHD, this quiz can help you identify whether your teen may have symptoms that warrant further evaluation.

Instructions:

For each question, choose the answer that best describes your teenager’s behavior over the past six months. Add up the points at the end to see the results.

Does your teenager struggle to focus on tasks such as homework, conversations, or chores?

Does your teen frequently lose things like school supplies, keys, phone, or personal items?

How often does your teenager procrastinate or struggle to start important tasks?

Does your teen get distracted easily, even by small noises or unrelated thoughts?

Does your teenager struggle to follow multi-step instructions (e.g., “Do your homework, pack your bag, and take out the trash”)?

How often does your teenager blurt out answers or interrupt conversations?

Does your teen struggle with emotional regulation, such as frequent frustration, impatience, or mood swings?

How often does your teenager fidget, tap their hands or feet, or struggle to sit still?

Does your teen frequently struggle with time management, such as being late, underestimating how long things take, or missing deadlines?

Does your teenager often feel overwhelmed by everyday tasks, such as organizing their backpack, completing assignments, or managing responsibilities?

Does your teen struggle to stay focused, feel restless, or have difficulty managing tasks? While occasional distraction and forgetfulness are normal, persistent challenges with attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity may indicate ADHD. These symptoms can impact school performance, social relationships, and daily responsibilities.

Our online self-assessment can help you better understand whether your teen exhibits common signs of ADHD. While this quiz is a helpful starting point, it is not a clinical diagnosis. A comprehensive evaluation by a physician or mental health professional is necessary for an accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plan.
