ADHD Assessment
Your journey to an ADHD diagnosis and effective treatment starts here.
Please Note: We Are a Psychology Clinic, Not Psychiatry
At our clinic, we offer expert psychological support, but our psychologists are not able to prescribe medication. If medication is recommended as part of your treatment, a psychiatrist will be required to prescribe it. However, we can provide a formal diagnostic report to assist in that process, ensuring you receive comprehensive care.

What is ADHD?
ADHD, which stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, is a neurodevelopmental disorder that commonly affects both children and adults. It is characterised by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that can significantly impact daily functioning and quality of life.
Individuals with ADHD may struggle with maintaining focus, staying organised, managing time, and regulating their impulses.
How can you treat ADHD?
At Brisbane Mind Body Clinic, we believe in taking a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach to ADHD treatment. We understand that every individual is unique, and treatment plans should be tailored to meet their specific needs.
Our ADHD treatment programs often include a combination of the following strategies:
Psychoeducation
Understanding ADHD is a crucial first step in managing the condition. Our ADHD specialists provide education and guidance to individuals and their families, equipping them with knowledge about ADHD symptoms, triggers, and coping strategies.
Behavioural Interventions
Behavioural therapies, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Parent Management Training (PMT), are effective in helping individuals with ADHD develop practical skills to manage symptoms.
Lifestyle Modifications
Making positive lifestyle changes can significantly benefit individuals with ADHD. Our psychologists work closely with clients to establish healthy routines, improve sleep patterns, and incorporate regular exercise and nutrition practices into their daily lives.

ADHD in Children and Teens
ADHD can manifest differently in children and adolescents compared to adults. Early identification and intervention are crucial to helping children and teens manage their symptoms effectively. At Brisbane Mind Body Clinic, our ADHD psychologists specialise in working with young individuals and provide a range of age-appropriate interventions, including:
Child-Centered Therapy
Our child-focused therapy sessions create a safe and supportive environment for children to express their thoughts and feelings. Through play therapy and tailored interventions, our psychologists help children develop strategies to improve focus, impulse control, and social skills.
Parental Support and Education
We understand that parents play a vital role in supporting their child’s ADHD journey. Our psychologists offer parent training programs, equipping parents with effective parenting strategies, behaviour management techniques, and communication skills to foster a positive and supportive home environment.
Collaborating with Schools
ADHD can impact a child’s academic performance and social interactions at school. We collaborate with educators and school staff to develop individualised education plans (IEPs) and provide support in implementing classroom accommodations to ensure optimal learning and social engagement.
ADHD in Adults
ADHD can persist into adulthood, and its impact on daily life can be significant. Our clinic offers specialised ADHD assessment and treatment services for adults who may be experiencing ongoing challenges related to attention, organisation, time management, and impulsivity.

Understanding the Impact of ADHD
ADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, can have a significant impact on various aspects of an individual’s life. It affects not only the person diagnosed but also their family, relationships, education, and work. Understanding the impact of ADHD is crucial in developing effective strategies and support systems. Here are some key areas where ADHD can have an influence:
Academics
Children and adolescents with ADHD often face challenges in academic settings. They may struggle with attention, organisation, time management, and completing tasks. These difficulties can result in academic underachievement, lower self-esteem, and increased frustration. However, with proper support and accommodations, individuals with ADHD can thrive academically and reach their full potential.
Work Performance
Adults with ADHD may encounter difficulties in the workplace due to challenges with focus, time management, and organisation. They may struggle with meeting deadlines, staying on task, and maintaining productivity. However, with effective strategies, accommodations, and workplace support, individuals with ADHD can excel in their careers and contribute their unique strengths.
Relationships
ADHD can impact relationships, both personal and professional. Impulsivity, inattention, and difficulties with listening and communication can strain relationships and lead to misunderstandings. It is important for individuals with ADHD and their loved ones to develop effective communication skills, understanding, and patience to foster strong and supportive relationships.
Self Esteem and Emotional Well-being
Living with ADHD can take a toll on self-esteem and emotional well-being. Individuals with ADHD may experience feelings of frustration, inadequacy, and a sense of being different from their peers. It is essential to provide emotional support, build self-esteem, and help individuals recognise their unique strengths and talents.
Early intervention, appropriate treatment, and ongoing support can make a significant difference in mitigating the impact of ADHD on various aspects of life. By understanding the challenges associated with ADHD, individuals, families, and communities can work together to create an inclusive and supportive environment that fosters success and well-being for individuals with ADHD.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is ADHD?
ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. It is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that can interfere with daily functioning and development.
What is an ADHD assessment, and how is it conducted?
During an ADHD assessment, our psychologists use a combination of interviews, questionnaires, and psychological tests to gather information about your symptoms, history, and functioning. This comprehensive evaluation helps determine whether ADHD is present and guides the development of an appropriate treatment plan.
How can ADHD be treated?
ADHD can be effectively managed through a multimodal treatment approach. This typically involves a combination of therapy, medication, education, and support. Therapy, such as behavioural therapy or cognitive-behavioural therapy, can help individuals develop coping strategies and improve functioning. Medication, such as stimulants or non-stimulants, may be prescribed to manage symptoms. It is important to work with a qualified ADHD specialist to develop a tailored treatment plan.
Is ADHD treatment effective?
Yes, ADHD treatment can be highly effective in managing symptoms and improving daily functioning. The effectiveness of treatment may vary depending on individual factors, but evidence-based interventions such as therapy, medication, and lifestyle modifications have been shown to significantly reduce ADHD-related impairments.
Can adults be diagnosed with ADHD?
Yes, ADHD can be diagnosed in adults. Our psychologists are trained to assess and diagnose ADHD in individuals of all ages, including adults. If you suspect that you may have ADHD, we recommend scheduling an assessment to gain a better understanding of your symptoms and explore appropriate treatment options.
Can adults with ADHD benefit from therapy?
Absolutely. Therapy can be highly beneficial for adults with ADHD. It can help individuals understand their ADHD symptoms, develop strategies to manage challenges, improve organisational skills, enhance relationships, and address co-occurring conditions such as anxiety or depression. Therapy provides a supportive space for personal growth, self-reflection, and developing practical skills.
Can ADHD be assessed in children and teenagers?
Yes, ADHD can be assessed in children and teenagers through comprehensive evaluations that include clinical interviews, behavioural observations, rating scales, and psychological testing. These assessments help identify ADHD symptoms, determine their severity, and differentiate ADHD from other conditions that may present similar symptoms.
How long does ADHD treatment typically last?
The duration of ADHD treatment varies based on individual needs and goals. Some individuals may benefit from short-term interventions, while others may require longer-term support. Our psychologists work closely with you to determine the optimal treatment duration and provide ongoing care and support as needed.
Can ADHD be managed without medication?
Yes, ADHD can be managed without medication. While medication can be an effective component of treatment for some individuals, there are various non-pharmacological interventions, such as therapy, behavioural strategies, and lifestyle modifications, that can significantly improve ADHD symptoms and daily functioning.

Yes, at Brisbane Mind Body Clinic, we specialise in ADHD assessment and treatment. Our team of experienced psychologists has expertise in diagnosing and managing ADHD in children, teenagers, and adults.

Are there additional resources available for ADHD support?
Yes, there are numerous resources available to support individuals with ADHD and their families. These resources include books, websites, support groups, coaching services, and helplines. They can provide valuable information, strategies, and emotional support to supplement your ADHD treatment.
Can ADHD be outgrown or cured?
ADHD is a chronic condition that typically persists into adulthood. While individuals can develop effective coping strategies and manage symptoms, ADHD itself cannot be cured or outgrown. However, with appropriate treatment and support, individuals with ADHD can lead fulfilling lives and achieve their goals.
Is medication the only treatment option for ADHD?
No, medication is not the only treatment option for ADHD. While medication can be beneficial in managing symptoms, it is often combined with therapy, educational support, and lifestyle modifications to provide a comprehensive treatment approach. Therapy helps individuals develop coping skills, improve self-esteem, and address specific challenges associated with ADHD.
