Adult ADHD
Understanding and Supporting ADHD in Adulthood
Adult ADHD is real and it's often under-recognised. For many adults, a diagnosis brings clarity to years of feeling scattered, overwhelmed, or misunderstood.
Whether you've been recently diagnosed or are seeking assessment, Arami Women's Health provides non-judgmental, medically-informed support to help you thrive. Arami currently does not perform ADHD assessments in-house — we support you through the process and refer you for formal assessment and diagnosis.
Common Adult ADHD Symptoms
Difficulty concentrating or staying focused
Feeling overwhelmed by tasks or disorganised
Forgetfulness or losing things regularly
Impulsivity or restlessness
Trouble with time management
Emotional dysregulation (e.g. mood swings, frustration)
What to Expect
Arami supports adults through the ADHD referral pathway in accordance with the guidelines relevant to your state in Australia, and provides ongoing care once a diagnosis is in place.
Your ADHD care journey may include:
An initial conversation to understand your symptoms and how they're affecting your daily life
Ruling out other causes, such as sleep disorders, thyroid issues, or anxiety, where relevant
Referral to a psychiatrist or other appropriate specialist for formal ADHD assessment and diagnosis
Ongoing medication management, if medication is appropriate and once a diagnosis is in place
Referrals to ADHD coaches, therapists, or psychologists for behaviour and executive functioning support
ADHD can be a challenge, but it can also be a strength. With the right diagnosis and support team, you can build systems that help you succeed in work, relationships, and daily life.

We support adults who are concerned about ADHD by talking through their symptoms and history, and facilitating referral to a psychiatrist or other appropriate specialist for formal assessment and diagnosis. We also provide ongoing support after diagnosis as part of your broader care.
