DSM-5-TR symptom screener
Clinical screening tool — not a diagnostic instrument
This tool maps self-reported symptoms to DSM-5-TR thresholds and is designed to support clinical conversation. It does not constitute a diagnosis. Formal ADHD diagnosis requires comprehensive evaluation including history, collateral information, and exclusion of other conditions.
This screener covers all 18 DSM-5-TR symptom criteria across both domains. Think about consistent patterns over the past 6 months when answering — not occasional occurrences.
