Frequently Asked Questions About Our Services
How is ADHD diagnosed by a psychiatrist?
ADHD diagnosis involves a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation including detailed symptom history, standardized ADHD rating scales, review of childhood symptoms (for adults), and ruling out other conditions. Our psychiatrists use DSM-5 criteria and validated assessment tools to ensure accurate diagnosis. The evaluation typically takes 60 minutes and includes discussion of symptoms in multiple settings (home, work, school).
What ADHD medications do Orlando psychiatrists prescribe?
Our psychiatrists prescribe both stimulant and non-stimulant ADHD medications. Stimulants include Adderall, Vyvanse, Ritalin, Concerta, and Focalin. Non-stimulants include Strattera, Intuniv, Qelbree, and Wellbutrin. The choice depends on your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle needs, and response to treatment. We start with low doses and adjust as needed.
Can adults be diagnosed with ADHD?
Yes, many adults are diagnosed with ADHD for the first time in adulthood. Adult ADHD is common and often goes undiagnosed until symptoms significantly impact work, relationships, or daily functioning. Our psychiatrists specialize in adult ADHD diagnosis and can help determine if your symptoms are ADHD or another condition.
How quickly can I see an ADHD psychiatrist in Orlando?
We offer same-week appointments for ADHD evaluations. Many patients can be seen within 3-5 business days. We understand that ADHD symptoms can significantly impact your life, and we prioritize getting you in quickly for evaluation and treatment. Call 386-848-8751 to schedule your ADHD evaluation.
Does insurance cover ADHD treatment?
Yes, most health insurance plans cover ADHD diagnosis and treatment including psychiatric evaluations and medication management appointments. We accept most major insurance plans including Blue Cross Blue Shield, UMR, Medicare, Aetna, Cigna, and many others. Contact us at 386-848-8751 to verify your coverage.
What's the difference between ADD and ADHD?
ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) is an outdated term. The current diagnosis is ADHD with three types: predominantly inattentive (what used to be called ADD), predominantly hyperactive-impulsive, and combined type. Our psychiatrists use the current DSM-5 diagnostic criteria to accurately identify your ADHD subtype and create an appropriate treatment plan.
Do you offer ADHD medication management without prior diagnosis?
If you don't have a confirmed ADHD diagnosis, you'll need a comprehensive ADHD evaluation first. This typically takes 60 minutes and includes symptom assessment, medical history, and diagnostic testing. Once diagnosed, follow-up medication management appointments are typically 15-30 minutes. If you were previously diagnosed elsewhere, bring documentation and we may be able to proceed directly to medication management.
Can ADHD be treated without medication?
While medication is often the most effective treatment for ADHD, some patients benefit from non-medication approaches or combination treatment. Our psychiatrists can discuss all options including behavioral strategies, therapy referrals, and lifestyle modifications. However, for moderate to severe ADHD, medication is typically recommended as the first-line treatment based on extensive research evidence.
