ADHD guidelines offer clearer path for diagnosis and treatment
Whatever medical condition it might be in your family that you’re dealing, you never quite know where to start.
Finding the right doctor or GP who is qualified in a particular area can be really challenging.
The Australian ADHD Professionals Association hopes a new national clinical guideline for ADHD will be that starting point for people, with more than a million Australians diagnosed with the condition.

Professor Mark Bellgrove, from the Australian ADHD Professionals Association, told 6PR Breakfast stand-in co-hosts Lisa Barnes and Mark Gibson the guidelines are a best practice guide for diagnosis and treatment.
“It does a very thorough analysis, so both physicians and folks living with ADHD can use this as a go-to resource to tell them what best practice is and what to expect when receiving treatment,” he said.
