Can an online ADHD test diagnose me?

No. Online tests are screening tools that flag whether further evaluation is warranted. A diagnosis requires a clinical interview with a qualified provider who can review your full history and rule out other conditions.

What is the difference between an ADHD self-test and a clinical evaluation?

Self-tests are short questionnaires you complete on your own. A clinical evaluation includes a structured interview, a review of childhood symptoms, screening for conditions that can mimic ADHD (anxiety, sleep disorders, mood disorders, trauma), and a written diagnostic conclusion.

Will SLS Psychiatry use my online quiz results?

Yes — completing a screening quiz before your visit gives your psychiatrist a useful starting point. The formal evaluation still happens during your appointment.

Is ADHD over-diagnosed?

Misdiagnosis goes both directions. Many adults are recognized late after years of compensating, while others receive an ADHD label when the underlying issue is anxiety, trauma, or poor sleep. A careful evaluation is what separates the two.
