Adult ADHD Is More Common Than You Think

ADHD affects about 4 in 100 US adults. Most of them have never been told. Many were never checked as kids. That is truest for women, and for people who did well in school by working twice as hard.

Those workarounds hold for years. Then something tips the load. A bigger job, a new baby, or grad school can do it. Only then do the old patterns show up as problems: a messy desk, a lost thread, a snap decision, a short fuse.

Why demand is high in North Carolina

A few groups here drive the need for ADHD care:

  • Tech workers in the Research Triangle
  • Staff at Duke, UNC Health, and Atrium Health
  • Students at the state's 50-plus colleges

Our ADHD Evaluation Process

1

Book Your Visit

Book online or call 336-828-2599. We often have slots the same day or the next day. No referral needed.

2

The Workup

Your provider meets you on secure video. They ask how the symptoms play out at work and at home. They also use screening tools to rule out anxiety, depression, and other look-alikes.

3

Diagnosis & Plan

If it is ADHD, you and your provider build a plan. It may include a stimulant or a non-stimulant. It may include new habits and coping tools. You leave with a follow-up on the books.

4

Ongoing Care

We meet again to see how the medicine is working. We change the dose, ease side effects, and fine-tune over time.

Insurance Accepted

We accept Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare, and other major plans. View full insurance list →

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get a same-day ADHD evaluation in North Carolina?

Yes. Many people get checked the same day or the next day by video. There is no waitlist and no referral. Book online or call 336-828-2599.

How is ADHD diagnosed in adults?

Your provider takes a full history of your symptoms. They ask how those symptoms play out at work, at home, and with the people close to you. Screening tools help fill in the picture. They also rule out anxiety, depression, and other problems that can look like ADHD.

Do you prescribe ADHD medications via telepsychiatry?

Yes. Our providers can prescribe both stimulant and non-stimulant ADHD medicines by video. We send the prescription to the NC pharmacy you pick.

Do you accept insurance for ADHD treatment?

We take BCBS, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, Medicare, Medicaid, and other major plans. Most plans cover a video visit at the same rate as an office visit.

Can college students get ADHD treatment through your practice?

Yes. We see students from every NC school, including UNC, Duke, NC State, Wake Forest, ECU, and App State. You can join from your dorm, from home, or from anywhere in NC over break.

What if I was never diagnosed with ADHD as a child?

That is very common. Plenty of adults hear it for the first time in their 20s, 30s, or later. Many got by for years on sheer effort and smart workarounds. When those stop working, the ADHD shows. We check adults for it every day.
