ADHD Assessment Battery

The Adult ADHD Assessment Battery is a structured screen for adult ADHD and the conditions that most often overlap with it. It combines the ASRS v1.1 (ADHD symptoms), PHQ-9 (depression), GAD-7 (anxiety), MDQ (mood swings), ISI (sleep) and WFIRS-S (impact on daily life), plus diagnostic-context questions. 130 items; about 25 minutes. It is a screen; a diagnosis needs a full clinical evaluation.

This battery is a structured screening and clinical-organization tool, not a diagnosis. It brings together adult ADHD symptoms, functional impairment, developmental history, cross-setting pervasiveness, and common differential considerations.

Complete each section using its timeframe: ASRS v1.1 uses the past 6 months; PHQ-9 and GAD-7 use the past 2 weeks; MDQ asks about lifetime periods when mood or energy were not your usual self; ISI uses the current/last 2 weeks; WFIRS-S uses the past month. Use N/A on WFIRS only when an item does not apply.

The final report integrates ASRS Part A threshold scoring, PHQ-9 depression and self-harm risk, GAD-7 anxiety severity, MDQ bipolar-spectrum screening, ISI insomnia severity, WFIRS-S impairment domains, and DSM-5-TR/ICD-11 context indicators. Clinician review is required before any DSM-5-TR diagnosis, ICD-11 code assignment, medication planning, or treatment conclusion. If PHQ-9 Item 9 is endorsed, safety assessment comes first.
