ADHD stands for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. People with ADHD report difficulty focusing, restlessness, and impulsivity that affect daily life.
There’s no single quiz for ADHD. Diagnoses are complex and come after a thorough examination from a licensed clinician. That can all happen online.
During your initial visit, you’ll talk with a clinician to determine if ADHD could be contributing to daily challenges. They’ll also consult standard diagnostic criteria to evaluate your symptoms.
If the screening suggests you may be experiencing the symptoms of ADHD, you’ll further discuss your medical and family history as well as your daily functioning.
After reviewing all this information, as well as ruling out other conditions, your clinician may provide you with a diagnosis. You’ll further discuss your goals and options for treatment.
We give you and your clinician time to talk about your symptoms thoroughly so they can fully understand what brings you in.
Based on your diagnosis and goals, we’ll tailor a treatment plan for you that can include medication if it’s appropriate.
If you’d benefit from other therapies, we’ll provide recommendations. In some cases, we can even refer you to a therapist within Talkiatry.
Find times that work with your schedule. No waiting rooms, and no commute.
Online care lets you choose from clinicians across the state, not just who’s local.
Licensed clinicians can provide a diagnosis and treatment plan 100% online.

Yes. Licensed mental health professionals can provide ADHD screenings and diagnoses online. Just like with an in-person visit, they’ll screen you for the most common symptoms of ADHD, ask questions about your family and medical history, and see if there are other factors or mental health conditions that could be affecting your quality of life. Once they have a diagnosis, they’ll discuss treatment options and find a course that’s the best fit for your specific needs. At Talkiatry, that’s just the beginning. We’ll also track your progress and make any adjustments in regular follow-up visits, too.
We take an evidence-based approach to mental healthcare so you get the care you deserve and an accurate diagnosis. Online assessments use the same criteria as in-person assessments for diagnosis. Our clinicians are also trained to provide appropriate treatment after diagnosis.
We provide comprehensive evaluations from licensed healthcare providers trained specifically in psychiatry. Here’s what to expect in your online assessment:
Screening questions
We’ll ask you about your symptoms. Do you have trouble focusing or staying still? Do you notice that you fidget a lot? Do you struggle with inattention? How is this affecting your general well-being, your quality of life, or your self-esteem? If your clinician finds you meet the screening criteria, they’ll dig deeper and move into an evaluation.
Evaluation
If you meet the screening criteria, your clinician will provide a full evaluation. They’ll ask about your medical and family history. They’ll also delve further into your symptoms to see if you meet the diagnostic criteria for several types of ADHD. They’ll also try to rule out other conditions (like depression, anxiety disorders, or bipolar disorder) to make sure your diganosis fits your symptoms.
Treatment
If your clinician finds you’re experiencing ADHD, they’ll start to work with you to create a treatment plan. This can include medications and additional therapy, like CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy).
Follow-ups
We’ll continue to meet with you to discuss your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan. In some cases, we’ll use questionnaires or clinical scales like the ASRS (Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale) to measure your progress.
There is no online test for ADHD. Diagnoses should always come from licensed health care professionals who can spend real time listening to you. You deserve one-on-one care. Self-diagnosis may be tempting when you’re not feeling well, but we encourage you to find care that really sees you.
Some of the common first line treatments for ADHD are stimulants, which are controlled substances. The ability for clinicians to prescribe controlled substances online varies from state to state. We encourage you to check the regulations in your state or to check with your clinician.
