Being easily distracted by noises, thoughts, or surroundings
Forgetting daily responsibilities, like paying bills or appointments
Feeling restless or unable to sit still
Talking too much or interrupting others
Acting impulsively, like blurting out answers or making quick decisions

Diagnosing ADHD
An accurate diagnosis of ADHD will require a qualified medical or mental health professional to:
Gather your personal history and discuss the history of your current symptoms
Review your medical and mental health history, as well as your current health status.
Use standardized ADHD behavior rating scales or quality of life assessments to evaluate your symptoms.
Sometimes administer psychological tests to assess memory, organization skills, visual or spatial abilities, or reasoning.
With your permission, possibly consult with people close to you, such as a family member or partner, to gain insight into how your symptoms impact your daily life.
There is no individual test that provides a simple straightforward diagnostic answer.
