Every claim traced back to a source.

Health content should be accountable. This page explains exactly how ours is made — who writes it, which clinician reviews it, what sources we accept, and what happens when we get something wrong.

EDITORIAL STANDARDS

Written To Be Checked, Not Just Believed.

Every clinical statement on this site is traceable to NICE guidance, DSM-5-TR, or a named authoritative source. Every clinical page shows its named reviewer, their [[GMC / HCPC]] number, the review date and the next review date — so you can verify who stands behind what you are reading.

How content gets made

Written by editors, checked by clinicians.

Written by

Patient-facing pages are drafted by our editorial team in plain, accessible language — a reading level checked before publication, because clarity under cognitive load is an accessibility requirement for our audience. Every named author appears at the bottom of the article they wrote.

Reviewed by

Any page that makes a clinical claim is checked by a [[GMC or HCPC]]-registered clinician before it is published, and again on a regular review cycle afterwards — [[annually, with quarterly review of fast-changing pages such as Right to Choose, waiting times and shared care]]. The reviewer's name, registration number and review date are shown on the page.

Source standards

Clinical claims are referenced to the strongest available evidence, in this order:

  • NICE guidelines (NG87 for adult ADHD, CG142 for adult autism) and other UK regulatory or NHS guidance, used as the primary reference
  • Peer-reviewed journal articles, prioritised over secondary summaries
  • Recognised bodies such as the NHS, Royal Colleges, and equivalent international guidance where relevant
We don’t cite forum posts, unverified blogs, or AI-generated summaries as sources for clinical claims. Where evidence is uncertain or still developing — such as hormones and ADHD — we say so rather than overstate it.

Internal oversight

What happens behind the appointment.

No sponsored clinical content

We don't accept paid placements or sponsored content that could influence what a page recommends. No pharmaceutical company funds, reviews or shapes any content on this site.

Corrections are public

Where a factual correction is made to a published page, a note describing the change and its date is added to that page. Fast-changing pages — NHS waiting times, Right to Choose, shared care — carry a visible "last reviewed" date and are updated [[quarterly]].

If you believe something on our site is inaccurate or out of date, contact our editorial team via the Contact page. We aim to acknowledge every report within [[5 working days]] — and if you are right, we will correct it publicly.

ADHD Screener ~2 minutes

Could it be ADHD?

This short screener covers the symptom areas clinicians assess — attention, restlessness and impulsivity — to indicate whether a full assessment may be worthwhile. It is a screening tool, not a diagnosis.

Who is this screening for?

Almost done — where should we send your results?

Enter your details to see your results on screen and receive a copy, along with a short guide on what to do next.

This screener is an educational tool and does not provide a medical diagnosis. Only a qualified clinician can diagnose ADHD following a full clinical assessment. A positive screen does not mean you (or your child) have ADHD, and a negative screen does not rule it out. If you are struggling, please speak to your GP or a mental health professional.
