Screening is not a diagnosis. You can ask for help without being certain that ADHD is the explanation.
The WHO recommendation
The WHO mhGAP guideline (2023) makes a conditional recommendation, based on low-certainty evidence, that methylphenidate may be offered to children aged 6 and over and adolescents with a diagnosis of ADHD, under specialist care.
It is not a general recommendation for adults and gives no dosing advice here.
