If you have spent years working twice as hard to hold everything together, an answer matters. Alice Tran, PMHNP-BC provides thorough adult ADHD evaluations and ongoing treatment to Maryland adults by secure telehealth.
Book a Telehealth Appointment →Many Maryland adults suspect ADHD for years before anyone takes the question seriously, especially women, high achievers, and people who did well in school by sheer effort. The evaluation here is deliberately unhurried: the first visit is a full psychiatric history, because ADHD shares symptoms with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and thyroid issues, and an accurate diagnosis has to rule those in or out.
Diagnosis typically comes together at the second or third visit, using structured symptom review, self reports, and collateral input from someone who knows you well. If testing questions arise, such as ruling out learning disorders, Alice explains when formal neuropsychological testing adds value and when it is unnecessary.
Treatment is individualized: stimulant or non-stimulant medication when appropriate, practical strategies for the executive-function side of life, and treatment of the anxiety or depression that so often rides along with untreated ADHD. Every appointment is by telehealth for Maryland patients, with prescriptions sent to your local pharmacy.
Bright, capable people who were never flagged as kids because they got good grades or stayed quiet. Sound familiar? You are the rule, not the exception.
Hormones, masking, and the inattentive presentation mean women are missed for decades. The evaluation here is built to catch what standard screenings skip.
Stimulants and non-stimulants both have a place. Dosing is adjusted with real follow-up, not a refill mill.
More than half of adults with ADHD carry a second diagnosis. Treating both, in the right order, is where results come from.
Plan on two to three visits. The first visit is a complete psychiatric history; the diagnosis and treatment plan usually come together at visit two or three. Rushing this step is how misdiagnoses happen.
When clinically appropriate, yes. Prescriptions are sent electronically to your Maryland pharmacy, and treatment follows the same monitoring standards as in-person care.
Usually not. A clinical evaluation is the standard for diagnosing adult ADHD. Formal testing is useful in specific situations, such as suspected learning disorders, and Alice will tell you honestly if your case is one of them.
Not from zero, but a fresh evaluation matters: adult ADHD looks different, and the right treatment at 35 is often not what worked at 12. Bring any old records you have; they help.
