ADHD Treatment & Support

Receiving an ADHD diagnosis is often the beginning of a new stage of understanding. While some people require only an assessment, others benefit from a period of medical care to establish treatment, review progress, and develop practical strategies for living well with ADHD.

At May Health, ADHD Treatment & Support is provided by General Practitioners whose clinical work is focused on mental health. Care is tailored to your individual needs and goals, recognising that every person’s experience of ADHD is different. The focus is on providing thoughtful medical care during the period in which it is most beneficial, while working collaboratively with the broader May Health team where appropriate.

Appointments are guided by your individual circumstances and may include:

• Medication review and prescribing where appropriate.
• Monitoring treatment response and managing side effects.
• Education about ADHD and its impact on daily life.
• Support with emotional regulation, organisation, planning, and executive functioning.
• Discussion of strategies that support work, study, relationships, and wellbeing.
• Coordination of care with other clinicians within May Health where appropriate.

Treatment is reviewed regularly and adapted according to your needs. For many people, care is provided during a focused period while treatment is established and stabilised. Once this phase of care is complete, ongoing general medical care is usually best provided by your regular General Practitioner.

ADHD can affect many areas of life. While medical care plays an important role, many people also benefit from additional support through the broader May Health ADHD Clinical Services.

Where appropriate, your General Practitioner may recommend complementary services such as psychology, relationship counselling, dietetic support, or the Adult ADHD Group Treatment Program. Working within a multidisciplinary mental health clinic allows care to be coordinated according to your individual needs.

Our doctors are fully qualified General Practitioners whose clinical work at May Health is focused on mental health care.

May Health is not a traditional general practice. Patients are encouraged to maintain an ongoing relationship with their regular General Practitioner for comprehensive general medical care, preventative healthcare, chronic disease management, vaccinations, and other non-mental health concerns.

If you have been diagnosed with ADHD and would like to discuss treatment or ongoing support, our administration team can help determine whether this service is the right fit for your needs. We are also happy to discuss the broader range of ADHD Clinical Services available through May Health and help guide you towards the most appropriate care.
