Adult ADHD is rising fast in Australia and medication isn’t the whole solution.
In Australia, ADHD diagnoses more than doubled between 2013 and 2020, and the number of people on ADHD medications has increased by around 300% in the past decade (Medical Journal of Australia).
But here’s the catch: while medication helps many, it doesn’t build the skills and daily habits needed to thrive with a busy brain.
What works best is an integrated approach. Research shows that adults achieve greater improvements when they combine medical treatment with skills and strategies that build everyday performance. These include:
- Understanding the root causes such as how ADHD impacts your specific brain networks and decision-making processes, so you can get personalised strategies that truly work.
- Lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, sleep routines, targeted nutrition, and mindfulness techniques have been shown to support brain health, boost dopamine, and reduce impulsivity.
- Neuro-performance training that builds emotional regulation, focus under pressure, and leadership stamina helping adults thrive in high-demand roles.
The result? Better focus at work. Less stress at home. A brain that works for you, not against you.
