Online ADHD assessment for adults
Our online ADHD assessment is a full diagnostic evaluation for adults, not a quiz. You complete validated questionnaires at your own pace, a licensed clinical psychologist reviews your answers within 48 hours, and you meet them on video for a 30-minute diagnostic appointment before receiving a written report.
Clinically reviewed · Updated October 2, 2026
The CDC estimates that about 6 percent of US adults, roughly 15 million people, have ADHD, and many were never diagnosed as children (CDC, 2024). Getting evaluated has usually meant a long wait list and a bill of $1,500 or more.
Our assessment removes those barriers without lowering the clinical standard. Everything happens online, a licensed clinical psychologist makes the diagnosis, and the two fees ($189 for the evaluation, $199 for the appointment) are the only costs.
What the assessment includes
The evaluation has three parts, and each one matters for an accurate result.
The online evaluation. You answer a set of validated questionnaires at your own pace. The core instrument is the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS v1.1), developed with the World Health Organization. Alongside it you complete short, well-established screeners for anxiety (GAD-7), depression (MDI), post-traumatic stress (PCL-5), general well-being (WHO-5), panic symptoms and substance use. You also answer questions about your childhood, your health history and your current life.
Psychologist review. Within 48 hours a state-licensed clinical psychologist reads your responses. They look at your answers and scores, note patterns, and identify what needs more discussion. No algorithm makes a decision about you.
The video appointment. You then meet your psychologist for a 30-minute video appointment. They ask about your symptom history, how your difficulties show up at work and at home, and when they began. They apply the DSM-5-TR criteria for ADHD and talk you through what they are finding.
After the appointment you receive a written diagnostic report. The step-by-step detail is on our how it works page.
Who the assessment is for
The assessment is for adults aged 18 and over. Many of the people we see recognize themselves in a few of these descriptions:
- Capable at work but constantly behind on deadlines, paperwork and follow-through
- Disorganized in a way that has caused real problems with money, jobs or relationships
- Restless inside, unable to switch off, even when nothing is wrong
- Quick to start projects and slow to finish them
- Recently noticed the same patterns in a child who was just diagnosed
It is also for people who have been treated for anxiety or depression and feel something is still being missed. Our screening covers those conditions too. To compare your experience with the clinical picture, start with adult ADHD symptoms.
We serve all 50 states and Washington, DC. You are matched with a psychologist licensed in your state, and you need to be in that state at the time of your appointment. We confirm this at the start.
Which types of ADHD we evaluate
The DSM-5-TR describes three presentations of ADHD, and the assessment covers all of them:
- Predominantly inattentive, the one most often missed in adults and in women
- Predominantly hyperactive-impulsive
- Combined, where both symptom groups are present
The report states which presentation applies. Read about all three on our ADHD types overview.
Why online
Research supports assessment by video. A systematic review and meta-analysis found that neuropsychological test results collected by videoconference did not differ meaningfully from face-to-face administration (Brearly et al., 2017), and the American Psychological Association’s telepsychology guidelines (APA, 2013) treat telehealth as a valid setting for psychological assessment when a licensed clinician uses standardized tools.
ADHD is a clinical diagnosis. It rests on a structured interview, a symptom history and validated rating scales, not on a brain scan or lab test, and each of those works over video. We cover the evidence and its limits on our accuracy of online testing page.
You also answer the questionnaires when you have a quiet hour, you do not travel, and you are not waiting months for an opening.
What the report is used for
Your diagnostic report is a signed clinical document. It includes your diagnosis against DSM-5-TR criteria (or a clear statement that criteria were not met), your scores and their interpretation, any co-occurring conditions, and recommendations. People most often use it for three things:
- Sharing with a prescriber. We diagnose but do not prescribe, so if medication is on the table, your primary care doctor or a psychiatrist uses the report to make that decision. See medication management.
- Workplace accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
- Academic accommodations under Section 504 for college or graduate study.

Common questions
Is this a real diagnosis or just a screening?
It is a real clinical diagnosis. A licensed clinical psychologist reviews your questionnaire responses, interviews you on video, and applies DSM-5-TR criteria. You receive a signed written report, not just a score.
Who can take the assessment?
Adults aged 18 and older anywhere in the United States. You are matched with a psychologist licensed in your state and need to be in that state for the video appointment. We do not evaluate children or teenagers.
How much does the full evaluation cost?
The online evaluation is $189, charged when you submit it. The psychologist appointment and written report are $199, charged 48 hours before the appointment. The total is $388 and there is no subscription.
Can the report be used to get medication?
We diagnose but do not prescribe. Your report is written so a prescriber such as your primary care doctor or a psychiatrist can use it to decide on treatment. Most prescribers accept a report from a licensed clinical psychologist.
What if the result is not ADHD?
You still receive a full report. Because we also screen for anxiety, depression, PTSD and other conditions that look like ADHD, the report will explain what the findings suggest and what to do next.
