Not sure if you have ADHD? Take our free ADHD test first
If you have ever wondered “how do I know if I have ADHD?” or “do I have ADHD?”, our free online ADHD test is the easiest place to start. This free ADHD self-test uses the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS-v1.1) Symptom Checker, developed with the World Health Organisation — an 18-question ADHD test that takes about 3 minutes, with your answers available immediately.
Use it as a quick adult ADHD test or, with a parent, as a starting point for a child. It helps you decide whether a full private ADHD assessment is worth booking — and your results point you straight to the right next step.
Start your free online ADHD testThe Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS-v1.1) Symptom Checklist is a recognised screening tool only. A positive screen does not confirm ADHD, and a negative one does not rule it out — only a full clinical assessment can give you an answer. Developed in conjunction with the World Health Organisation.
A thorough, clinically robust ADHD assessment
Every Ready Health ADHD assessment is built around recognised diagnostic standards and delivered by clinicians qualified in ADHD — so your result is one you and your GP can rely on.
NICE-aligned standards
All assessments follow NICE guidelines — the same clinical standards used within the NHS — so your diagnosis carries proper clinical weight.
DIVA-5 & DSM-5 criteria
Assessments are completed using DIVA-5 and DSM-5 diagnostic criteria, the structured, internationally recognised tools for diagnosing ADHD.
Specialist clinicians
Carried out by qualified nurses or clinical pharmacists, all of whom hold recognised ADHD specialist qualifications.
Fast, clear outcome
A diagnosis is typically confirmed at the end of your appointment, with your full written report issued within 48 hours.
Unhurried appointments

What happens after an ADHD diagnosis?
A diagnosis is the beginning of getting the right support, not the end. Your written report sets out clear, personalised next steps — and whatever you decide, you stay in control of your care.
Your diagnostic report
You receive a full written report within 48 hours, suitable to share with your GP, school or employer. We can send it to your GP directly if you prefer.
ADHD medication & titration
If medication is appropriate, our private ADHD titration & medication management service finds the safest effective dose through careful, gradual titration.
Shared care with your GP
Once you’re stable on the same medication and dose, we’re happy to support a shared-care agreement so your GP can take over routine prescribing, where they agree.
ADHD coaching & therapy
Medication doesn’t fix routines or organisation. Our ADHD coaching for adults and teens builds practical strategies for focus, time management and daily life.
