Dr Mohsen Mohseni-Goki
Dr Mohsen Mohseni Goki is a Fellow of the Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (FRANZCP) and a member of the Australasian ADHD Professionals Association (AADPA). With over 12 years of experience as a consultant psychiatrist, he specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). He assesses ADHD patients ranging in age from 16 to 60 years old.
Assessing and treating ADHD can be a complex process that requires a clear understanding of the individual’s symptoms and behaviors. When a patient is struggling with drug or alcohol use, including medicinal cannabis, it complicates the assessment because these substances can mimic or mask the symptoms of ADHD. This makes it difficult to accurately diagnose and provide effective treatment.
If you are using substances regularly, such as cannabis (even medicinal cannabis), alcohol, or other drugs, it is crucial to address these issues first. The presence of these substances in your system can interfere with both the assessment and the treatment of ADHD. Therefore, Dr Goki strongly recommends seeking treatment for substance use before undergoing an ADHD evaluation.
Once you have successfully ceased substance use, Dr Goki will be able to provide a more reliable assessment and determine the appropriate treatment for ADHD. This approach ensures that the diagnosis is accurate and the treatment is safe and effective.
Please understand that Dr Goki’s goal is to offer the best possible care, and addressing substance use issues first is a necessary step in achieving that.
Support for drug and alcohol issues is available through drug and alcohol services. Once you are ready, we can proceed with a thorough and accurate assessment of ADHD and discuss the best treatment options for you.
Our Psychiatry Services
Psychiatry is a branch of medical study that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders. Psychiatrists are different from psychologists because they spend a lot of their focus on working with their patients through medication and prescription treatments in conjunction with therapy.
Using your referral from your GP, you can call our friendly admin staff to make an appointment with one of our experienced psychiatrists. If you live in Brisbane, you can have face to face sessions in our Woolloongabba premises, while if you live in a telehealth eligible regional area of Australia, one of our Brisbane-based psychiatrists can provide your sessions via Skype at your medical centre.
Our experienced psychiatry team provides child & adolescent (>12 years old), adults and geriatric psychiatry services.
Following your initial consultation, your psychiatrist will discuss a personally suited treatment plan with you and your GP, which may or may not involve medications. Your treatment plan will also cover any necessary investigation of other medical conditions that could be influencing the wellbeing of your mental health.
