Yes. ADHD evaluation, treatment, and medication management may be provided through telehealth when clinically appropriate.
Telepsychiatry is the area of telehealth specifically focused on providing psychiatric and mental health services remotely. Through secure virtual appointments, patients can discuss ADHD symptoms, everyday challenges, treatment options, medication concerns, and treatment progress with a psychiatric provider.
For children and adults with ADHD, telehealth may also remove some of the practical barriers associated with attending regular appointments, including transportation, work schedules, school schedules, and travel time.
Telehealth does not eliminate the need for a thorough ADHD evaluation or ongoing clinical monitoring. It changes where the conversation takes place, allowing appropriate psychiatric care to occur from a private and familiar environment.
