Adult
ADHD Assessments
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects individuals of all ages, including adults. While it's commonly associated with children, many adults in Australia also grapple with the challenges posed by ADHD.
​
In Australia, it's estimated that around 2-4% of adults live with ADHD, though this number may be higher due to underdiagnosis and misdiagnosis.
​
Effective management of adult ADHD often involves a combination of medication, therapy, and lifestyle modifications.
​
ADHD in adults can be presented in many ways such as:
-
Impatience
-
Clumsiness
-
Struggle with short-term memory
-
Feeling trapped
-
Sleeping difficulties
-
Impulsiveness
-
Inability to focus or multi-task even without distractions
-
Low frustration tolerance
-
Poor time management skills
​
Diagnosing ADHD in adults can be complex due to its overlapping symptoms with other mental health conditions and the misconception that ADHD is solely a childhood disorder. It often requires a thorough assessment by a qualified healthcare professional, who has specialised training in ADHD. This typically involves a comprehensive evaluation including medical history, symptoms, and behaviour patterns.

Referral Process
If you're feeling concerned about how you're functioning or your mental health, it's a good idea to talk to your General Practitioner (GP) first. Your GP is your main healthcare provider, and they can help you with various health concerns. Remember, you don't need a referral from your GP to start exploring the possibility of ADHD.
Assessment
We use a range of evidence based psychometric tools for our adult ADHD assessments. You'll receive 3-4 assessment questionnaires online, which you can complete conveniently at home.

During this session, you will be provided with the written report and a thorough explanation, including recommendations.
