Difficulty concentrating does not always mean ADHD. But when problems with attention, organization, impulsivity, forgetfulness, procrastination, or completing tasks repeatedly interfere with everyday life, a psychiatric evaluation can help determine what may be happening.
MoodClinics provides online ADHD evaluation and treatment for adults throughout Arizona through secure telehealth.
We evaluate symptoms carefully, consider other possible explanations, review previous treatment when applicable, and develop an individualized treatment plan.
Every visit is $99 — including the initial psychiatric evaluation and all follow-up visits.
MoodClinics is self-pay only. There are no subscriptions or membership fees. Appointments are often available within days.
What Is Adult ADHD?
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that can continue into adulthood.
Adult ADHD does not always look like obvious hyperactivity. Some adults primarily experience problems with attention, organization, planning, time management, impulse control, or completing tasks.
Symptoms may affect work, education, relationships, finances, household responsibilities, and everyday functioning.
What Are Common ADHD Symptoms in Adults?
Adults seeking an ADHD evaluation may describe difficulties such as:
- Trouble maintaining attention
- Frequently losing or misplacing things
- Forgetfulness
- Difficulty organizing tasks
- Starting projects but not finishing them
- Procrastination
- Poor time management
- Becoming easily distracted
- Difficulty following lengthy conversations or instructions
- Impulsive decisions
- Restlessness
- Difficulty prioritizing responsibilities
- Frequently changing activities before completing them
- Feeling overwhelmed by routine tasks
Having some of these symptoms does not automatically mean someone has ADHD.
An evaluation considers the overall pattern, duration, severity, functional impact, developmental history, and other possible explanations.
Can ADHD Be Evaluated Through Telehealth?
Yes. Adult ADHD can often be evaluated through telehealth when clinically appropriate.
MoodClinics provides ADHD evaluations to eligible adults who are physically located in Arizona at the time of their appointment.
The evaluation may include discussion of current symptoms, childhood or developmental history, education, work functioning, relationships, medical history, psychiatric history, substance use, sleep, current medications, and previous treatment.
Standardized ADHD screening or assessment tools may also be used when appropriate.
What Else Can Look Like ADHD?
Concentration problems can occur for many reasons.
Symptoms resembling ADHD may sometimes be associated with:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Bipolar disorder
- Poor or insufficient sleep
- Trauma-related symptoms
- Substance use
- Medication effects
- Medical conditions
- Stress
- Other psychiatric or cognitive conditions
For that reason, MoodClinics does not approach an ADHD evaluation simply as a request to confirm ADHD.
The goal is to understand why the symptoms are occurring and determine an appropriate treatment plan.
What Happens During an ADHD Evaluation?
A psychiatric provider will review the symptoms that brought you to treatment and how those symptoms affect your everyday functioning.
The evaluation may consider:
Current symptoms → developmental history → functional impairment → psychiatric and medical history → medications → sleep → substance use → alternative explanations → treatment options
Previous records or information from other sources may sometimes be useful when clinically appropriate.
An appointment does not guarantee an ADHD diagnosis.
Does MoodClinics Treat Adults Who Already Have an ADHD Diagnosis?
Yes.
Some patients come to MoodClinics with a previous ADHD diagnosis and want continued psychiatric care, medication management, or a fresh review of their treatment.
Others seek a second opinion because their current treatment is not working well or is causing unwanted effects.
The provider will independently evaluate the patient's current clinical situation rather than automatically continuing a previous treatment plan.
Does MoodClinics Prescribe ADHD Medication?
Yes. Medication may be prescribed when clinically appropriate. Treatment options may include stimulant and non-stimulant medications, depending on the patient's symptoms, history, previous treatment response, and individual needs.
Your provider will discuss appropriate treatment options with you following your evaluation.
What If I Have ADHD and Anxiety or Depression?
ADHD can occur alongside other psychiatric conditions.
Some adults seeking ADHD treatment also experience anxiety, depression, sleep problems, mood instability, substance use concerns, or other symptoms.
Treatment therefore focuses on the whole clinical picture, rather than treating concentration difficulty in isolation.
When several conditions or symptoms are present, the provider will discuss which problems may need attention first and how different treatments could interact.
What If My Current ADHD Medication Is Not Working?
MoodClinics can review existing ADHD treatment.
That may include considering:
- Whether the medication is helping
- How long its effects last
- Side effects
- Sleep
- Appetite
- Anxiety or mood changes
- Other medications
- Previous ADHD treatments
- Whether another condition may be contributing to symptoms
When clinically appropriate, treatment may involve continuing, adjusting, changing, or reconsidering medication.
How Much Does an ADHD Appointment Cost?
Every MoodClinics visit is $99.
That includes the initial psychiatric evaluation and follow-up appointments.
MoodClinics is self-pay only and does not accept insurance.
There are no subscriptions, membership fees, or required monthly plans. HSA/FSA funds may be used where applicable.
How Quickly Can I Get an ADHD Appointment?
Appointments are often available within days, depending on current availability and clinical appropriateness.
All routine MoodClinics visits are conducted through secure telehealth.
Who Provides ADHD Care?
Care is provided by qualified psychiatric providers authorized to practice where the patient is located.
Providers who prescribe controlled substances maintain the required DEA registration and follow applicable federal and state prescribing requirements.
