ADHD Assessment and Treatment for Adults in Cairns
Are you struggling with focus, time management, organisation, motivation or emotional overwhelm?
Adult ADHD can affect work, study, relationships, parenting, routines and confidence. For some people, the signs have been there since childhood but were never recognised. For others, symptoms become harder to manage when life becomes busier, more demanding or less structured.
Altitude Mind Clinic provides adult ADHD psychiatry services for people in Cairns and Far North Queensland 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 Brisbane or attend a physical consulting room.

Adult ADHD Psychiatry for Cairns Adults
ADHD in adults does not always look like obvious hyperactivity. Many adults describe feeling mentally restless, easily distracted, forgetful, disorganised or constantly behind. You may be able to perform well under pressure, yet struggle to start tasks early. You might manage work or family responsibilities from the outside, but feel exhausted by the effort it takes to keep everything together.
For adults in Cairns, accessing specialist psychiatry can be challenging. Travel, appointment availability, work schedules, family responsibilities and distance from larger metropolitan services can all become barriers to getting help.
Altitude Mind Clinic provides adult ADHD assessment, diagnosis and treatment planning through secure video consultation. You can speak with a psychiatrist from a private space that suits you, whether you are in Cairns, the Northern Beaches, Gordonvale, Edmonton, Redlynch, Smithfield, Kuranda, Port Douglas or elsewhere in Far North Queensland.

More about Adult ADHD in Cairns
Experienced Adult Psychiatrists
Altitude Mind Clinic provides psychiatry care for adults, including ADHD, anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD and general adult psychiatry. This broader experience matters because ADHD can overlap with other conditions. Anxiety, low mood, trauma, chronic stress, poor sleep and burnout can all affect concentration, motivation and emotional regulation.
A psychiatric assessment helps look at the full picture. Rather than assuming every symptom has the same cause, your psychiatrist can consider your history, current symptoms, health needs and day-to-day functioning.
Dr Ravinder Sohal has more than 20 years of psychiatry experience and a special interest in adult ADHD. Dr Sebastian Alvarez Grandi also provides adult psychiatry care through Altitude Mind Clinic. The clinic’s telehealth model helps adults access support without
Telehealth Across Queensland
For Cairns patients, telehealth can make psychiatry care easier to access. You do not need to travel to Brisbane, take extra time away from work or plan a full day around a specialist appointment.
Altitude Mind Clinic manages patients across Queensland through secure video telehealth. You will need a reliable internet connection and a phone, tablet or computer with a camera. Appointments are held by video consultation, not by standard phone call.
Personalised ADHD Treatment Planning
ADHD affects each person differently. One adult may mainly struggle with procrastination, time blindness and missed deadlines. Another may find restlessness, impulsivity, emotional reactions, forgetfulness or task switching more difficult.
Your psychiatrist will take time to understand your symptoms, personal history, medical history and the areas of life most affected. Treatment options may include education, medication where clinically suitable, follow-up reviews, non-medication strategies and communication with your GP or other treating health professionals when needed.
