Step-by-Step Guide to Telehealth ADHD Care:

1. Recognise the Signs: Adult ADHD symptoms can significantly impact daily life. Look out for persistent difficulty focusing, disorganization, impulsivity, restlessness, and trouble managing time. If these resonate with your experiences, it’s a good idea to seek an evaluation.
2. Choose a Telehealth Provider: Dr. Surtee provides dedicated psychiatric evaluations for ADHD through her telehealth service. She is a licensed professional who can:
   • Conduct thorough psychiatric evaluations.
   • Prescribe ADHD medication, if appropriate.
   • Provide referrals to psychiatrists and psychologists for specialized care.
3. Schedule an Online Consultation: Your ADHD evaluation will typically involve:
   • Completing an intake questionnaire to gather essential information.
   • A comprehensive consultation with Dr. Surtee.
   • Possible referral to a specialist if further assessment is needed.
4. Receive a Diagnosis: Following your assessment, Dr. Surtee will:
   • Diagnose ADHD (or another condition that may be causing your symptoms).
   • Help rule out other potential causes such as anxiety, depression, or sleep disorders.
   • Discuss the most suitable treatment options tailored to your needs.
5. Start Treatment: Treatment plans for adult ADHD may include:
   • Medication: Options like stimulants (e.g., Adderall, Vyvanse) or non-stimulants (e.g., Strattera) may be prescribed.
   • Therapy: Recommendations for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and ADHD coaching can provide valuable coping strategies.
   • Lifestyle Support: Guidance on time management, mindfulness, and productivity tools to help you manage daily challenges.
   • Important Note: If stimulant medications are prescribed, be aware that they are controlled substances and may require regular follow-ups, drug screenings, and monthly prescriptions with no refills.
6. Follow-Up Care: Ongoing telehealth visits are crucial to ensure your treatment is effective. These appointments allow Dr. Surtee to:
   • Monitor the effectiveness of your treatment and any potential side effects.
   • Adjust medication dosage as needed.
   • Fulfill legal and prescription requirements for ongoing medication.
