Curious about stimulant or non-stimulant medication?

These terms describe two ways to treat diagnosed ADHD. Mentavi Health / ADHD Online provides care for adults 18 and older, offering both stimulant and non-stimulant approaches, as well as therapy and coaching programs when appropriate. All treatment decisions are made by licensed clinicians based on each patient’s diagnosis.

A diagnostic evaluation and initial clinician appointment are the first steps to determine whether ADHD or another condition is present. About 60% of people with ADHD also experience anxiety, depression, or another co-occurring condition, and some who suspect ADHD may learn that a different factor is driving their symptoms.

Your journey starts with the online diagnostic evaluation, the first step toward identifying the most effective care plan for you.

Non-Stimulant Options for ADHD

Are you curious about how non-stimulant treatments work or their benefits and side effects? We’ve got you covered.

ADHD is complex, and one size doesn’t fit all. While stimulants like Adderall and Ritalin are commonly prescribed, they are not the only options. Non-stimulant medications can be effective alternatives and may also support individuals with co-occurring conditions such as anxiety or depression.

In this recorded webinar, Dr. Barry Herman and Lakeisha Love, NP discuss evidence-based non-stimulant treatment options for ADHD and answer real patient questions. Watch now to gain expert insight and better understand how to personalize ADHD care.

Curious about stimulant or non-stimulant approaches?

If you’re navigating ADHD or other mental health challenges, you have options. At Mentavi Health / ADHD Online, we assess what works for you. 
Some may start with non-medicated approaches like coaching or therapy.  In other cases, patients may explore medication treatment paths when warranted by diagnosis. For some diagnosed with ADHD, the treatment clinician may work with the patient to determine if stimulant approaches work best for them. Stimulant approaches are certain medications under medical treatment that are generally Class II controlled substances. Non-stimulant options are another approach that can work for many.  Medication approaches can be used in tandem with coaching or therapy. 
 
The key is starting with our diagnostic evaluation, which is reviewed by a qualified healthcare professional. Getting clarity on what you’re experiencing is the first step toward feeling more in control. From there, you and your treatment team can determine the best path—whether that’s coaching, therapy, medication, or a combination that works for your life. 
 
If you’re not feeling right, let us walk alongside you by starting with the diagnostic evaluation.
There may be a brief delay in service today between 12:30 PM and 1:30 PM ET. Thank you for your patience — we look forward to assisting you shortly.
