You can use the DSM-5 (it's easy to find a free pdf online) which is the manual for diagnosis. It's an easy way to see if you'd meet the criteria for being diagnosed and has genuinely helped multiple of my friends realize they have ADHD

Unfortunately it’s by going to a doctor and getting diagnosed. Definitely researching is beneficial as lunar_dude mentioned!

There’s not really a definitive way of knowing you have adhd without going to a doctor, honestly. I’d suggest doing a lot of research though, since that’s what helped me figure it out
