TELEHEALTH PSYCHIATRIC ADHD ASSESSMENT
Start with an assessment by a psychiatrist and move forward with evidence-based guidance tailored to your needs.
Over the years, I’ve seen firsthand the challenges many individuals face when seeking ADHD assessment and ongoing management. Through telehealth, my colleagues and I are able to provide structured assessments and clinician-led guidance, helping make the process more accessible for people across Australia. My hope is that this platform offers clear information and a straightforward way to begin seeking support.

Common Symptoms
ADHD is characterised by a persistent pattern of inattention, restlessness, and impulsivity that can affect day-to-day functioning and quality of life. Recognising potential ADHD symptoms can indicate when it may be appropriate to seek a professional assessment.
Restlessness
ADHD restlessness is a hallmark symptom manifesting as an uncontrollable need to move or fidget, making sustained focus challenging.
Impulsiveness
Impulsiveness in ADHD is a spontaneous and often rash response, leading to actions without considering potential consequences.
Inattentiveness
Inattentiveness in ADHD refers to difficulty sustaining focus or easily being sidetracked from tasks, often leading to overlooked details.
Aggression
Aggression in ADHD is heightened reactivity or hostility, often resulting from frustration, impulsivity, or misunderstood social cues.
Inability to complete tasks
Fidgeting
Fidgeting in ADHD is the consistent, often involuntary movement or twitching, serving as an outlet for restless energy or distracted focus.
Moodiness
Moodiness/Irritability in ADHD refers to frequent and unpredictable mood swings, often arising from overstimulation or frustration.
Absent-mindedness
Absent-mindedness in ADHD signifies periods of distraction or daydreaming, leading to forgotten tasks or overlooking details.
Hyperactivity
Hyperactivity in ADHD is an excessive, restless energy causing constant movement or talkativeness, often challenging to channel or control.
