Adult
ADHD
Assessment

ADHD, affecting around 1 in 20 Australians, is a condition with varying symptoms and impacts on individuals' lives. There are 3 different subtypes: Inattentive, Hyperactive, and Combined. Genetic studies indicate this condition as being highly heritable.

For adults, ADHD shows up as persistent struggles with focus, impulsivity, and sometimes hyperactivity, often leading to difficulty in concentration, completing tasks, and memory issues. While these can be occasional challenges for everyone, for those with ADHD, these difficulties persist and significantly impact their lives.

Adult ADHD Treatment

Treatment methods vary and can involve medication and psychological strategies/support. Katrina offers assessments for adult ADHD that can inform if an individual meets the criteria for this condition. This assessment can help you understand its effects on daily life and offers recommendations and strategies for improving your quality of life. This report can aid a Psychiatrist in confirming the diagnosis and prescribing suitable medication if needed.

Confirmation of ADHD in adulthood can be transformative, offering clarity and reducing self-blame. It helps in understanding how the brain works and learning effective coping strategies for daily life.


Important Note: Clinical Psychologists, like Dr. Katrina Burchell, CANNOT prescribe medication. Consultation with a Psychiatrist is needed for this.
