Frequently asked questions
Is this a diagnosis?
No, and anyone online who says otherwise is selling something. This is a structured screening using validated instruments, designed to make your next step, whether that's a GP visit or a private assessment, go better. Only a qualified clinician can diagnose ADHD.
Which questionnaires do you use?
ASRS v1.1 (the WHO's adult ADHD screen), WURS-25 (childhood history), GAD-7 (anxiety) and PHQ-9 (mood): the same screening tools used in clinical practice, named openly because you deserve to know. The ASRS was developed by the World Health Organization with researchers at Harvard and NYU around the diagnostic criteria clinicians use; the WURS-25 is a long-published childhood-history scale; GAD-7 and PHQ-9 are the standard anxiety and mood screens used across primary care. All four are scored to their published cutoffs. We also ask a short set of unscored questions about how you experience the world, because ADHD and autism often travel together. A licensed autism screen (the AQ-10) will join the battery once the Autism Research Centre grants the commercial permission we have applied for; we won't use it without that permission, on principle.
How long does it take, and what does it cost?
The free check is six questions and about two minutes. The full assessment is about 60 scored questions plus a short optional section in your own words, and most people take 12 to 15 minutes; it's free to take. Your full report is free. The only paid thing is the €9 appointment bundle, which adds the GP Letter, the Appointment Pack and the Informant Appendix.
Who reads my answers?
Software, and nobody else, on every tier. No human reads your answers, and your individual answers are deleted once your report is generated.
What are the optional personal questions at the end?
A short unscored section about where all of this lands in your life: work, money, relationships, and so on. It exists so your report can speak about your life, not just your numbers, and anything you type is only ever quoted back in your own words. Every question is skippable, and skipping changes nothing about your results.
What if my report says ADHD is unlikely?
Then you've learned something valuable for nothing instead of €1,200, and your report points at what else might explain your struggles: the anxiety and mood screens are part of the battery for exactly that reason.
Do I have to go through my GP?
For the free public (HSE) route, yes: your GP refers you, and the wait is commonly measured in years. But you don't have to start there. Many private clinics in Ireland, several of them fully online, now let you self-refer: you book an assessment directly, do it by video, and share the report afterwards. Your report works for either door. One thing to know: even if you self-refer, your GP still matters later, because any medication is usually continued by your GP under a shared-care arrangement. Your full report has a plain-language rundown of both routes, the costs, and the questions to ask a clinic before you book.
Who made this?
Éanna Healy, in Limerick. He spent his twenties being treated for depression and anxiety, worked out in his thirties that something else was underneath it, and was assessed and diagnosed after that. Not a clinician, and says so plainly. He built this because the first step in Ireland is too expensive and too slow, and because a screening that only looks for ADHD will always find ADHD. More on the About page.
Can I see the report before paying?
Yes: read the complete sample report for a fictional customer. What Sam got is what you get.
Can I use this for my child?
No. Adults (18+) only; children's screening works differently and belongs with your GP.
What happens to my data?
While you take the assessment, answers live only on your own device. If you buy, they're processed to generate your report and then deleted; I keep scale totals and the report itself, which expires after 30 days. Full detail on the privacy page.
Refunds?
Report didn't arrive or won't open: full refund, just reply to the delivery email.
This is a self-report screening tool, not a medical diagnosis. Only a qualified clinician can diagnose ADHD or any other condition.
