Frequently Asked Questions
Is the screening free and private?
Yes. Free, private screening for anxiety, ADHD, depression and 13 more. See your result instantly. No account needed.
Can a screening diagnose a condition?
No. A screening is not a diagnosis. Diagnosis requires a fuller assessment by an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
How long does a screening take?
The screening is designed to be completed in a few minutes. Answer according to your usual or recent experience rather than basing every answer on one unusually stressful moment.
What should I do after a screening?
Treat the result as useful information rather than a final conclusion. You can notice which symptoms stood out, learn more, and speak with a qualified healthcare professional if the difficulties are persistent or significantly disruptive.
