ADHD
Child and Teen ADHD
ADHD in children and teenagers commonly presents as difficulties with attention, impulsivity, and emotional regulation, but the way it appears can vary significantly between individuals. Some young people may struggle with focus and organisation, while others experience restlessness, behavioural challenges, or strong emotional reactions. These difficulties can impact learning, school performance, relationships, and self-esteem.
ADHD in children often co-occurs with learning disorders, anxiety, or other developmental concerns, making accurate diagnosis essential. At Lumena Clinic, we provide comprehensive ADHD assessments for children and adolescents , using evidence-based methods to understand each young person’s cognitive, emotional, and behavioural profile.
Our goal is to provide clear diagnostic outcomes and practical recommendations, while working collaboratively with families, schools, and other professionals to support long-term development and wellbeing.
Adult ADHD
ADHD in adults is frequently under-recognised, particularly in individuals who have developed coping strategies over time. Common difficulties include problems with organisation, time management, focus, emotional regulation, and maintaining consistency at work or in daily life. Many adults seek assessment after years of feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or underperforming relative to their potential.
Adult ADHD often co-occurs with anxiety, depression, or chronic stress, which can complicate diagnosis. We provide thorough, evidence-based adult ADHD assessments in our clinic in Brisbane, designed to clarify whether ADHD is present and how it impacts your functioning.
Our assessments are comprehensive and individualised, helping you gain a clear understanding of your cognitive profile, life history, and current challenges, so that recommendations are relevant, practical, and tailored to your needs.
ADHD Management and Treatment
Effective ADHD management requires an individualised, evidence-based approach. There is no single solution—treatment should reflect each person’s unique strengths, challenges, and goals.
At our Brisbane Lumena Clinic, we offer ADHD treatment and psychological support, focusing on practical strategies to improve executive functioning, emotional regulation, and day-to-day functioning. This may include support with organisation, attention, planning, task initiation, and managing overwhelm.
We also address co-occurring difficulties such as anxiety, mood concerns, and trauma where relevant, recognising the interaction between these conditions and ADHD. Where appropriate, we work collaboratively with GPs, psychiatrists, and other healthcare providers to ensure coordinated care.
Our aim is to help you move beyond simply managing symptoms, toward developing a deeper understanding of ADHD and building sustainable strategies for long-term success.
