Comprehensive Adult ADHD Support in Scottsdale & Phoenix

Adult ADHD Evaluation in Scottsdale & Phoenix
We provide specialized ADHD evaluation services for adults struggling with focus, impulsivity, disorganization, or memory issues. Our clinics in Scottsdale and Phoenix offer comprehensive psychiatric assessments that rule out other causes and pinpoint the correct ADHD diagnosis. Early detection is key to effective treatment and improved quality of life.

Recognizing ADHD Symptoms in Adults
ADHD symptoms in adults often differ from childhood presentations. You may experience chronic forgetfulness, trouble staying on task, emotional outbursts, or difficulty organizing your day. These executive functioning challenges are hallmark traits of adult ADHD and can interfere with career, relationships, and daily responsibilities.
If these ADHD symptoms are affecting your life, a formal ADHD diagnosis from a qualified provider is the first step toward lasting change.

Comprehensive ADHD Diagnosis Process
Our ADHD evaluation process includes detailed interviews, symptom checklists, and optional cognitive testing to differentiate ADHD from anxiety, depression, or other neurological conditions. Accurate ADHD diagnosis allows us to develop a precise treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Effective Treatments for ADHD in Adults
We use an individualized approach to treating ADHD, combining medication, behavioral therapy, and coaching. Treatment plans are guided by your lifestyle, symptom profile, and goals.
Medications used in ADHD treatment include both stimulant and non-stimulant options. Stimulants like Adderall (amphetamine salts) are widely prescribed for their effectiveness in enhancing attention and reducing impulsivity. We carefully monitor dosing to minimize side effects such as insomnia, irritability, or appetite loss.
Non-stimulant treatments for ADHD—such as atomoxetine or viloxazine—are available for those who prefer a stimulant-free approach or have concerns about misuse.

Behavioral Support & ADHD Coaching
Alongside medication, we offer cognitive-behavioral therapy, executive function coaching, and mindfulness-based strategies to help adults manage ADHD long-term. These tools reinforce new habits, reduce procrastination, and improve emotional self-regulation.
We also support lifestyle strategies including nutrition planning, sleep optimization, and stress management to support treatment outcomes.

Is Stimulant Medication Right for You?
Stimulants such as adderall are one of the most common medication classes prescribed for adult ADHD and are available in both immediate-release and extended-release forms. While highly effective, these are not suitable for everyone. Dr DePalma will conduct a full medical review—including heart health and mental health history—before recommending medication whether stimulant such as Adderall or any different class of medication.
We offer medication management visits to review side effects, adjust dosage, and explore alternatives when needed.
