Many adults living with undiagnosed ADHD are misdiagnosed with anxiety disorders, personality disorders and even Bi-Polar affective disorder. Dr Ulett has experience in assessing and managing complex psychiatric presentations and is holistic in her diagnostic approach.

As someone living with ADHD, Dr Ulett is able to provide a nuanced understanding of how ADHD impacts on multiple domains of people's lives.

ADHD is often deemed as "quirky", until... Debt arises due to dopamine seeking, and impulsive spending. You have a constant feeling of having an itch you can't scratch and a constant sense of anxiety or restlessness. You have issues with chronic fatigue and dopamine burn out. You seek new experiences but feel overstimulated and overwhelmed by planning and the activity itself. You feel chronically misunderstood and that you have to dilute yourself, and constantly replay conversations you've had. You struggle with image identity and disordered eating due to dopamine chasing binge eating and lack or executive function to commit to a good work out routine. You experience intense symptoms during your hormonal cycle including mood swings, depression and even paranoia. 

 If this sounds like you, Dr Ulett is keen to help you find the answers and appropriate treatment you need!
