ADHD

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition beginning in childhood, but which is often not diagnosed until adulthood. ADHD can interfere with your ability to work or study, to maintain friendships and relationships, and to manage personal tasks. Individuals with ADHD may also experience difficulties with mood, anxiety, and learning. Individuals with ADHD may experience difficulty with the following:

• Organisation
• Maintaining concentration/focus
• Restlessness, hyperactivity, fidgeting
• Difficulty completing work or projects
• Difficulty with time management and productivity
• Impulsivity
• Sleep problems
• Forgetfulness, losing things
• Mood swings, problems regulating emotions

How can we help?

Neuropsychologists are trained in the assessment and behavioural treatment of ADHD. We can work with you to provide tailored recommendations to reduce the impact of ADHD symptoms, such as addressing sleep and fatigue, implementing cognitive strategies to address poor organisation and concentration and improve work productivity or efficiency, and behavioural strategies to address impulsivity or relationship concerns. Neuropsychologists also treat mood disturbance which many people with ADHD also experience, such as depression and anxiety. We can liaise with your workplace, school, or other healthcare providers to discuss your assessment and our recommendations if required.
