If you spend time on social media, chances are you’ve seen an ad asking, “Do you have ADHD?” 

The self-diagnosing quiz you are directed to often provides viewers with misconceptions about attention deficit hyperactivity disorder before they ever see a medical provider. Kyle Boerke, director of Behavioral Health Outpatient Services for OSF HealthCare, hopes to provide clarity. He says ADHD starts in childhood, not in adulthood.

He adds that there’s no official test for ADHD. It’s a whole set of symptoms that include how it’s impacting your daily functioning and for how long. If you’re an adult and think you have ADHD, Dr. Boerke says seeking medical attention by a professional is the best first step.
