Hi ADHDResearcher, that's a great point about self-screeners not being a diagnosis. They can be useful tools to help identify potential symptoms or patterns in your behavior, but it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate assessment. In the case of ADHD, a thorough evaluation by a qualified mental health expert is crucial to ensure proper diagnosis and treatment.

I can relate to the struggle with focus! Self-screeners can be a good starting point, but it's important to remember that everyone experiences focus challenges differently. Some people with ADHD might have trouble sitting still, while others might find it hard to follow through on tasks. It's a complex condition that can manifest in various ways, so it's essential to approach self-screeners with that understanding.

One thing to keep in mind when using self-screeners is that they shouldn't replace seeking professional help. While they can provide some insight, they may not capture the full scope of your experiences or challenges. Mental health is just as important as physical health, and it's crucial to consult with a professional if you're concerned about your focus, behavior, or overall well-being.
