I Think I Have ADHD - with psychologist Bec McWilliam & psychiatrist Dr Dianne Grocott

So…what is ADHD? How is it diagnosed? What does it look like in adults? What medications exist and how do they work?

For the first episode of the ‘It’s My ADHD’ miniseries, Steph sits down with a psychologist and a psychiatrist to find out more about ADHD and how a psychologist and a psychiatrists’ approach differs when it comes to diagnosing and treating ADHD.

Bec McWilliam is a holistic psychologist. Bec has ADHD herself and diagnoses adults with ADHD.

Dr Dianne Grocott is a psychiatrist with 30 years experience in private & public practice who specialises in ADHD & Addiction Psychiatry. In 2015 she co-founded the Victorian Adult ADHD Interest Group to share expertise and resources to improve the lives of their patients with ADHD.
