ADHD Assessment and Treatment for Adults in Ballarat

Are you finding it hard to focus, manage time, stay organised or keep up with daily responsibilities?

Adult ADHD can affect work, study, relationships, parenting, routines and confidence. For some people, the signs have been present since childhood but were never recognised. For others, symptoms become more noticeable when life becomes busier, less predictable or more demanding.

Altitude Mind Clinic provides adult ADHD psychiatry services for people in Ballarat and surrounding regional Victorian communities through secure video telehealth. As a telehealth-only mental health clinic, appointments are designed to help adults access psychiatric assessment and treatment from home, without needing to travel to Melbourne or attend a physical consulting room.

Adult ADHD diagnosis

We find that for many adults, ADHD has been present for years but was never recognised. You may have heard yourself described as capable but inconsistent, bright but disorganised or good under pressure but unable to keep routines going.

Symptoms can also become more noticeable and harder to manage when life becomes more demanding. University, deadlines, business ownership, parenting, caring responsibilities and high-pressure roles can all place extra strain on attention, memory and organisation.

Altitude Mind Clinic provides adult ADHD assessment and treatment planning in a private, supportive setting. Our psychiatrists are experienced and take the time to understand your symptoms, history, health and everyday challenges specific to you.

Why choose Altitude Mind Clinic?

Adult ADHD experience

Dr Ravi Sohal is a Fellow of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists with a special interest in adult ADHD and has been assessing, diagnosing and managing ADHD in adults since 2009.

His 20 years of psychiatry experience, which includes complex disorders, is highly relevant because adult ADHD can overlap with or occur alongside anxiety, trauma, depression, PTSD, OCD, sleep issues, substance use concerns and mood disorders.

Telehealth access across Victoria

Altitude Mind Clinic provides telehealth psychiatry for adults across Australia, including Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula, Ballarat, Melbourne and regional Victoria.

You can attend your appointment from home or your office, or wherever else you can find a private space in Geelong’s sporting and creative community. Appointments are conducted by video consultation, so it is face to face, not a standard phone call.

Personalised treatment planning

What to expect from assessment to management

Initial ADHD Assessment

Detailed discussion about your current symptoms, childhood history, education, work, relationships, mental health, general health and family history. A questionnaire and other information may also be requested to help us identify ADHD or other considerations.

Adult ADHD Diagnosis

Diagnosis may take more than one appointment, especially if symptoms are complex or there are other mental health concerns. We need to understand what is happening and how it affects your life to connect you with the support that is going to be most helpful. Your psychiatrist will walk you through any diagnosis, what it means and your treatment options.

Treatment Planning to Review

Treatment may include medication if it is clinically suitable, but it is not the case for everyone. If medication is part of your plan, follow-up appointments will be scheduled to review response, side effects, dose, sleep, appetite, mood and daily function. Ongoing management includes strategies for routines, work habits and emotional regulation, as well as support from other health professionals.

Why Telehealth Helps Ballarat Patients

Ballarat is a major regional city, but that does not mean specialist psychiatry is always easy to access. For many adults, a single appointment can become a larger disruption once travel, work schedules, parking, family commitments and follow-up planning are included.

Telehealth can reduce some of those barriers. You can attend from home, work or another quiet private space. For adults with ADHD, having fewer steps involved in attending an appointment can make it easier to follow through.

Video consultations also allow you to speak from a familiar environment. Some people find this less stressful than attending a clinic in person, especially when discussing symptoms that feel personal, frustrating or difficult to explain.
