Applicable scenarios:This scale is for preliminary self-screening only and cannot replace professional clinical diagnosis. If results indicate high risk, consult a psychiatrist/psychologist for further evaluation.
Answer method:Recall daily performance over the past 6 months and rate each item on a 0-4 scale.
This questionnaire is adapted from the ASRS-v1.1/ASRS-5 scale (DSM-5 version) developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) in collaboration with Harvard University. It has been validated in numerous studies and shown to have good reliability and validity in Chinese populations. The test consists of two parts: Part A is a 6-question quick screening, and Part B is a complete 18-question assessment that provides a comprehensive understanding of attention and hyperactivity/impulsivity symptoms.
This test is based on professional ADHD assessment scales and has high reference value, but cannot replace professional medical diagnosis. Use results as initial screening, and consult mental health professionals if high risk is indicated.
If test results show medium to high risk, or if ADHD symptoms significantly impact daily life, work, or studies, consult a psychiatrist or mental health professional for professional assessment and diagnosis.
ADHD primarily includes attention deficit (difficulty concentrating, easily distracted, forgetful) and hyperactivity-impulsivity (restlessness, excessive talking, difficulty waiting) symptoms, usually beginning in childhood and continuing into adulthood.
Adult ADHD symptoms may change from childhood, with hyperactivity potentially decreasing, but attention problems, poor organization, and time management difficulties may persist, affecting work and relationships.
ADHD can be effectively managed through medication, behavioral therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and other approaches. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can significantly improve symptoms and quality of life.
Establishing regular routines, using reminder tools, breaking down complex tasks, creating distraction-free environments, regular exercise, and maintaining adequate sleep all help manage ADHD symptoms.
