Important Notice

This self-assessment is for personal insight only. It is not a medical diagnosis and should not be used as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

If you are under 18, please do not use this Service. Speak with a parent, guardian, or healthcare provider about rejection sensitivity concerns.

3. What This Assessment Is

The RSD-RS Self-Assessment is a screening tool that helps you understand your patterns of rejection sensitivity. It measures how you experience and respond to perceived rejection or criticism.

Your results provide insight into your rejection sensitivity across six areas and can help you:

  • Better understand your emotional responses
  • Have more informed conversations with healthcare providers
  • Track changes over time if you retake the assessment

4. What This Assessment Is Not

This assessment:

  • Is not a diagnosis of ADHD, RSD, or any other condition
  • Is not a substitute for professional evaluation
  • Is not medical advice
  • Cannot determine if you have or don't have ADHD
  • Should not be used to make medical decisions

5. Payment and Refunds

The self-assessment costs £19.99 (or equivalent in your currency). This is a one-time payment that includes:

  • Access to complete the 10-question assessment
  • Your personalised report
  • Report access for 90 days
  • Email delivery of your results

Refund Policy: Refunds are available if you have not yet started the assessment questionnaire. Once you begin answering questions, the service is considered delivered and refunds are not available. Contact support@rsdrs.com within 14 days of purchase to request a refund.

All payments are processed securely by Stripe. We do not store your payment card details.

The RSD-RS assessment is based on current research and clinical observation. However:
