Does your mind feel like it's always buzzing, struggling to focus? This could be a sign of ADHD. We've created a quick (18-question), interactive quiz to help identify symptoms consistent with ADHD, such as memory issues, distractions, restlessness, forgetfulness, and organisational challenges. Note: This quiz is a starting point, not a diagnosis. Only a thorough assessment by a qualified clinician can provide that. Ready to understand your unique way of thinking better? Let's get started!
