What is an ADHD screening report?
A plain-English explanation of what an ADHD screening report can organise, what it cannot confirm, and how it may help you prepare for a clinical conversation.
An ADHD screening report is a structured summary of questionnaire responses about attention, impulsivity, organisation, time management, emotional regulation and day-to-day functioning. It can help turn scattered examples into a document that is easier to discuss with a GP, psychologist, psychiatrist or other health professional.
Screening is not the same as diagnosis. A screening report can point to patterns that may be worth discussing, but it does not confirm ADHD, prescribe medication, provide treatment advice or replace a clinical assessment.
What it may include
- Current attention and executive function patterns
- Examples of functional impact at home, work, study or relationships
- Mood, anxiety or other mental health context where relevant
- Optional support person comments
- Uploaded documents appended as supplied, where provided
How to use it
Bring the report to an appointment as a starting point for conversation. It may help you explain what you are noticing, when it started, and where it affects your life. Your clinician can then decide what further assessment, history, evidence or referral is appropriate.
If you need urgent mental health care, immediate advice, medication, a diagnosis or a crisis service, a screening report is not the right tool. Seek medical care directly.
