The ASRS v1.1 symptom checklist was developed in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO) and a working group that included the following psychiatrists and researchers. The wording is thus theirs, and we know that ADHD can look very different depending on the person, age, and gender, among other factors.
DISCLAIMER:
Remember that you can have ADHD without it showing in this test, and the test can show signs of ADHD without you having the diagnosis. Mentalt Overskud has not developed the test; we have merely placed it on the website. The test is used by healthcare professionals to screen for ADHD symptoms but cannot stand alone without a clinical assessment and cannot replace a psychiatric diagnosis by an experienced specialist, such as a psychologist at Mentalt Overskud.
Answer based on how you have felt in the last 6 months. The test screens for ADHD symptoms. It cannot be used to diagnose yourself or others. Talk to your psychologist or doctor about your symptoms.
Currently, boys are on average 7 years old when they are diagnosed with ADHD. The average age for women who receive the diagnosis is 38 years. Although studies show that there is an equal prevalence of ADHD in both genders, boys are more often diagnosed than girls. There are many reasons for this. Partly, it is because research on ADHD is based on boys and the behavior they typically exhibit when they have ADHD. Experts also believe that culture plays a role; for example, many women may feel they need to be quiet, behave nicely, and not make noise, while boys may have a bit more leeway in this regard. Whether you are a man or a woman with ADHD, we recommend that you contact us if you recognize yourself in several of the answers in the ADHD test. There are conditions and factors that a professional considers in the assessment that the online test does not capture. Even if you have many yes answers in the test, it is far from certain that you have ADHD based on this one test.
I Denmark both Psychologists and Psychiatrists can diagnose ADHD. However, not all Psychologists have the right knowledge and experience to investigate and make the assessment. At Mentalt Overskud, we do. It is always worth considering what you want with an ADHD diagnosis. Some want to know for their own sake, and others wish to take medication for ADHD. It is a personal choice that only you can decide. With one of our psychologists, you can discuss these topics and plan a treatment course.
We have several psychologists with us who offer assessment, psychoeducation, counseling, and therapy within, among other things, ADHD and ADD. We offer tailored courses where you and your psychologist create a treatment plan that you can stand by and find relevant all the way through. Contact us or book an appointment here on the page.
ADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, is a neuropsychiatric disorder that can affect both children and adults. At Mentalt Overskud, we understand how important it is to get a correct and thorough assessment if you or your child experience symptoms that may indicate ADHD. That is why we offer a comprehensive ADHD test designed to give you insight into your symptoms and guide you towards the right help and treatment.
ADHD is characterized by three primary symptoms: attention problems, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. The symptoms can vary greatly from person to person, and it is important to get a professional assessment to ensure a correct diagnosis. Children with ADHD may struggle to keep up in school, while adults may experience challenges in their work life and personal relationships.
Our ADHD test is based on internationally recognized diagnostic criteria and is designed to help both children and adults identify signs of ADHD. The ADHD test is a screening available in both a child/teen and adult version. The test consists of a series of questions that cover the typical symptoms of attention disorders and hyperactivity/impulsivity. By answering these questions, you can get an indication of whether you should seek further professional help and discuss whether it is relevant for you to be assessed for ADHD or ADD.
ADHD in children and teens can often manifest as difficulties sitting still, concentrating on schoolwork, and following instructions. Our assessment for children is designed for parents who want to gain a better understanding of their child’s behavior. By having a dialogue with a psychologist with us, you can get an indication of whether your child exhibits behavior that may be consistent with ADHD and whether it is relevant to proceed with an assessment.
Today we know that ADHD is not a diagnosis only given to children. It was previously believed to be something one outgrew. Many adults also live with symptoms without being diagnosed. Symptoms in adults can include difficulties organizing tasks, forgetfulness, sleep problems, restlessness, and impulsive behavior. Our test and assessment for adults are designed to help you identify whether your experiences and challenges may be due to ADHD. The screening test can be taken online and provides you with immediate results, which you can use as a starting point for a conversation with one of our psychologists.
If the result of the test indicates that there is a likelihood of ADHD, we recommend that you contact one of our psychologist specialists at Mentalt Overskud. We have several experienced psychologists who can offer a comprehensive assessment and advise you on the next steps. We also offer tailored treatment plans that can help you manage your symptoms and improve your quality of life.
Most people who seek an ADHD and/or ADD assessment with us do so for personal reasons. Many want an assessment to better understand themselves and work more purposefully towards better mental health. Some want to go the medical route, others want medication and psychoeducation, and others only want therapy. You can choose the combination that feels right for you. We remind our clients that they either have the diagnosis or they do not – regardless of whether they are assessed or not. A diagnosis can help tailor the right treatment and create understanding in your life and from those around you.
You can use your assessment report to apply for additional support in school, education, and at work. Diagnoses can generally be used to get treatment. For example, if you break your leg, you get a diagnosis for it. You HAVE a broken leg; you ARE not your broken leg. It is the same with ADHD. It is something you might HAVE, but not the person you ARE. An assessment with us is confidential, and you choose whether to share it or not. It is entirely up to you.
At Mentalt Overskud, we place great emphasis on offering a personal and empathetic approach to each client. Our goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where you can get the help you need. We use a range of therapeutic methods to ensure that you receive the most effective treatment tailored to your individual needs.
