At Southwest Wellness we provide comprehensive ADHD services, including screening, diagnosis, and treatment.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder(ADHD) is the most prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder, affecting over
1 million Australians. It is characterised by symptoms such as inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, which can significantly impact various aspects of life, including work, school, and relationships.
In October 2022, new clinical guidelines were introduced in Australia, revolutionising the identification, diagnosis, treatment, and support for individuals with ADHD.
Although ADHD is a lifelong condition, timely diagnosis and ongoing treatment can greatly assist in managing symptoms and enhancing quality of life.
At Southwest Wellness Centre, our team of experienced ADHD psychologists are dedicated to helping individuals manage ADHD. We offer comprehensive services, from initial identification and screening to diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing support.
If you suspect that you or someone you know may have ADHD, contact us to schedule a screening session. During this 1-hour session, we will conduct an ADHD screener and provide guidance on whether a formal assessment is needed.

In Australia, ADHD affects approximately 6-8% of children and 3-5% of adults. With the release of new Australian ADHD clinical guidelines, it is expected that more individuals will receive diagnoses.
Common Indicators of ADHD:
These symptoms often persist into adulthood, though they may manifest differently in adults compared to children or teenagers. ADHD can significantly impact various aspects of life, including education, work, personal life, and relationships.
Benefits of ADHD Therapy:
Both children and adults with ADHD can greatly benefit from therapy. Since ADHD is a lifelong condition, professional guidance is essential for proper identification, diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing support. Early diagnosis and treatment can lead to better outcomes and improved quality of life.
