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.

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.
Is telehealth a good option for Geelong adults?
Geelong is one of Victoria’s largest regional cities, but accessing specialist psychiatry can still be difficult. Travel time, possibly accommodation, parking, work demands, family commitments and long wait times can all make it harder to get the care you need, when you need it. Telehealth helps reduce some of these barriers.
For adults with ADHD, attending from a familiar private space can make the appointment process more manageable, with less disruption to the rest of the day.
Telehealth is not suitable for every situation. Acute crisis, suicidal distress, medical emergencies, procedures, injectable treatments or concerns requiring physical examination may require in-person or emergency care.
