Struggling to finish tasks, stay organized, or remember what you walked into the room for?
It might not just be “distraction” — it could be executive dysfunction tied to attention regulation.
The ASRS is a widely used screening tool to explore whether ADHD might be part of the picture.
🧠 What is the ASRS?
The Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS) is a 6-question tool developed by the World Health Organization.
It asks how often you experience symptoms related to:
Focus and attention
Impulsivity
Memory lapses
Restlessness
Task initiation and completion
Each item is rated from:
0 = Never
1 = Rarely
2 = Sometimes
3 = Often
4 = Very often
🧾 What the score means:
There’s no “positive” or “negative” diagnosis from this tool alone.
But if 4 or more answers fall into the "often" or "very often" range, it may suggest clinically significant ADHD symptoms — and a reason to explore further.
🧩 What we do with the results:
ADHD symptoms can overlap with:
Depression
Anxiety
Burnout
Trauma history
Thyroid or metabolic imbalances
Sleep deprivation
Medication side effects
That’s why we use your ASRS score as a starting point — not a conclusion.
We ask:
How these symptoms show up in your life
When they began
What your environment, workload, or stress load looks like
What’s helped or hurt in the past
Then we tailor a workup and plan that fits you — not just the checklist.
🧠 If ADHD seems likely:
We may suggest:
Further validated questionnaires or partner/collateral input
Labs (e.g., thyroid, ferritin, B12, glucose, hormones)
Coaching, executive function strategies, or therapy
Medication options (stimulant or non-stimulant, when appropriate)
Nutrition and sleep strategies for focus regulation
Supplements like omega-3s, L-tyrosine, Rhodiola, magnesium (based on context)
🧠 If ADHD seems unlikely:
We don’t stop there — we help you explore:
Whether your focus issues are situational or system-based
Whether unresolved burnout, grief, trauma, or fatigue are in play
What supports your focus — and what pulls you off-track
💡 Bottom line:
The ASRS is not a label. It’s a flashlight.
It helps us explore what’s happening in your brain and build a care plan that meets you where you are — whether that includes ADHD or not.
