Real questions, short answers
These are the questions people actually ask Ask Zalfol.
1
How do I know if I have ADHD?
Only a clinician can diagnose ADHD — but recognising yourself is a valid start. What a real assessment looks at, why an online quiz isn't the answer, and what to do this week.
2
Where do I start in Zalfol?
You don't learn Zalfol on day one. Open the Guide, empty your head into the Dump, and do one step of five minutes or less.
3
I have too many goals — which one first?
Pick the goal that makes the others easier, let the rest wait somewhere safe, and break the chosen one into steps of five minutes or less.
4
Why can't I start, even when I want to?
Wanting and starting run on different systems. The ADHD brain starts on interest, novelty, urgency or challenge — so shrink the first step and use an outside cue.
5
How do I study for an exam that's close, with ADHD?
Triage the backlog, study in short blocks of one subject each, test yourself instead of re-reading, and protect your sleep.
6
Tired even after a good night's sleep — is it ADHD?
ADHD is linked to sleep problems and fatigue, but the common physical causes come first and can be checked: thyroid, iron, vitamin D, sleep apnea, low mood.
7
My child won't study and drifts off — what can I do?
What's normal for the age and what's worth an assessment, how to change the shape of studying, why to talk to the school, and who assesses.
8
Is Zalfol an app? How do I get it?
Zalfol is a web app at zalfol.com that works on any phone or computer. How to add it to your home screen, how sign-in works, and what the free plan includes.
9
How much does a doctor cost on Zalfol Care?
The Zalfol Care check is free. Sessions start from EGP 850 / USD 30 depending on the physician, 45–60 minutes, online, paid to the clinic — not to Zalfol.
10
Will I stay like this forever?
ADHD is lifelong wiring, but how life goes with it changes a lot with understanding, structure, treatment and people. What changes, what doesn't, and the shame spiral.
