**Here’s how it works:**
You indicate the behaviors that are making you concerned about your child by answering a series of questions. The Symptom Checker **analyzes your answers to give you a list of psychiatric or learning disorders** that are associated with those symptoms.
Since individual symptoms can reflect more than one disorder, this tool will give you a range of possibilities and guide you toward next steps. **This tool cannot diagnose your child**, but it can **help you inform yourself about possible diagnoses** and will offer information and articles to help you learn about them, to facilitate a conversation with a professional.
**Remember**, this tool is not a substitute for a diagnostic evaluation by a medical or mental health professional. If you believe your child has a psychiatric or learning disorder, please consult a professional. You can [request an appointment](https://childmind.org/care/request-appointment/) at the Child Mind Institute to speak with an expert.
We do not collect any personally identifiable information.
