Adult ADHD
Supportive care for adults with ADHD
Many adults go years without understanding why focus, organisation or restlessness feel harder than they should. A GP appointment is a good place to start the conversation.
Book an appointment
Patients from across the Sunshine Coast are welcome at our Kawana and Caloundra clinics.
Is this you?
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that often continues into adulthood. Common experiences can include:
- Difficulty sustaining attention on tasks
- Frequent distraction or losing things
- Trouble with time management and planning
- Restlessness or feeling constantly on the go
- Acting on impulse
- Emotional ups and downs, often alongside anxiety or low mood
How your GP can help
Dr Mahmoud can take a detailed history, screen for other conditions that may overlap with or mimic ADHD, and explain the assessment pathway that applies to you. This may include referral for a formal diagnostic assessment with a psychiatrist or other specialist.
For people with a diagnosis, ongoing care may include regular reviews, discussing treatment options, monitoring wellbeing and coordinating with other health professionals. Prescribing rules for ADHD medicines are set by state and territory authorities and depend on your circumstances, and Dr Mahmoud will explain what applies to you.
What to bring
- Any previous assessments or reports
- A list of current medications
- School reports, if available
- Notes on the symptoms that affect work, study or home life
