What you’ve described does sound consistent with possible adult ADHD, especially symptoms like zoning out, procrastination, difficulty following instructions, and restlessness. However, it’s important to understand that screening questionnaires (like the WHO ASRS) are only indicative and not diagnostic. Similar symptoms can also occur in anxiety, depression, or stress-related conditions. For a confirmed diagnosis, a detailed clinical evaluation is required, including history since childhood, functional impairment, and use of structured scales. This is best done by a psychiatrist, as they can both diagnose and guide medical management if needed. A psychologist can help with detailed assessments and therapy, but diagnosis and medication decisions are typically made by a psychiatrist. The good part is that if this is ADHD, it is very much manageable with the right combination of medication and behavioural strategies. So the next step would be a proper evaluation rather than relying only on online screening.
