Hotspot Description

Some clients aren’t ready for formal diagnosis—but they are curious. This tool allows clients to self-explore symptoms in a non-clinical, approachable format. Use it to spark conversation, build rapport, or guide early intervention.

**Includes:**
• Interactive online tool
• Downloadable PDF summary for client records

šŸ”“ **Free for all members** – because early screening shouldn’t be behind a paywall.

**Prefer a printable version?** The full questionnaire is also available in PDF form — find it in the **[Content Library](https://theunderratedsuperhero.com/file-download/brief-addiction-symptom-checker-2/).**

🧠 From the Understanding Addiction eBook.

_Note_: This tool offers preliminary feedback only and is not a substitute for diagnosis.
