For professionals & workplaces

ADHD, burnout, anxiety — or something else?

Clinicins at AOA Clinic provide comprehensive executive function assessments for high-performing adults, professionals and workplaces where attention, organisation, fatigue and performance matter.

Discuss a workplace pathway

Not every concentration problem is ADHD.

Difficulties with focus, motivation, planning, memory and task completion can arise from ADHD, but also from burnout, anxiety, depression, trauma, sleep disruption, medical conditions, medication effects and workplace stress.

Our collaborative GP–psychiatrist model helps clarify the full clinical picture and produce a practical treatment roadmap.

1

Traditional ADHD-only pathway

  • Focuses mainly on ADHD symptoms
  • May miss burnout, trauma, sleep or anxiety drivers
  • Often produces a diagnosis without a broader formulation
2

AOA executive function pathway

  • Assesses ADHD and other causes of executive dysfunction
  • Considers work demands, sleep, stress, trauma and mental health
  • Provides a practical treatment roadmap
  • Supports communication with GPs and treating clinicians

For workplaces and organisations

AOA Clinic can support organisations through education, referral pathways and assessment options for employees seeking clarity around attention, executive function and performance difficulties.

Workplace education

Webinars such as “ADHD, burnout or something else?” for staff wellbeing programs.

Referral pathways

A clear route for employees who want a comprehensive executive function assessment.

Collaborative reports

Practical reports that help guide treatment planning with the employee’s GP or treating team.

We do not simply ask: “Do you have ADHD?”

We ask: “Why are you struggling — and what will help?”
