ADHD Services Available in Iowa

Did you know?

To get treatment for ADHD, you first need an official diagnosis by a psychologist in Iowa. Sometimes it can take six months to get that first appointment, let alone the follow-up appointments for your assessment, diagnosis review, and treatment. And, it can cost well over $1,000 for the assessment alone.

Fortunately, at ADHD Online, we are committed to making mental health affordable and streamlining the process in Iowa.

From medication to mental wellness coaching to therapy, your options for treating ADHD and other mental health conditions are endless. And we’re here to help every step of the way. Before you read on, be sure you’ve taken the Smart Assessment–it’s the first step in our treatment process.

Our ADHD Treatment

  • You can typically schedule your first appointment within seven days of receiving your diagnosis (in-person processes can take up to 9 months in Iowa)
  • Costs significantly less than in-person treatment processes, which can cost thousands of dollars

  • Accommodates all kinds of treatment, including stimulant prescriptions sent to your local pharmacy, behavior modification, and non-stimulant prescriptions

Can I get a prescription via telehealth in Iowa?

Yes, if you receive a diagnosis following a comprehensive ADHD evaluation, you can then meet with one of our licensed clinicians to discuss your options. If deemed medically necessary, one of our nurse practitioners, physician assistants, or psychiatrists will develop a treatment plan and send the prescription to your local pharmacy of choice. ADHD Online’s ability to prescribe online strictly adheres to FDA guidelines and state and federal laws.

Mental Wellness Coaching in Iowa

Coaching can be an important part of your treatment plan, offering insightful and practical guidance to help you achieve your goals. You’ll meet one-on-one to discuss your values and goals, potential and experiences, struggles, and journey. Then, they will help set goals and plan the next steps, hold you accountable, motivate you, and celebrate with you.

ADHD Therapy in Iowa

Therapy can be an important part of your ADHD journey, either in conjunction with medical treatment and coaching, or on its own.

If you engage in therapy with us, we will connect you with a clinician in your state for a 50-minute visit via a HIPAA-compliant Zoom account. Each visit will focus on you, your ADHD journey, and how you can live your best life with ADHD. You and your therapist will determine how often to meet during your first appointment.

Mental health care with less stress

With telehealth, you can get high-quality mental health care without all of the complications and anxiety of an in-person appointment. Our patients report some of their favorite parts of telehealth with us include:

  • Faster path to feeling better – diagnosis and treatment appointments happen within days not months
  • Appointments are much easier to keep – no more struggling to get out the door on time, no traffic or parking stress
  • ADHD, and its related conditions like anxiety and depression, can make in-person meetings incredibly stressful. Telehealth makes managing those feelings much easier because you get to take the meeting wherever is best for you

ADHD Doesn’t Travel Alone

80% of people diagnosed with ADHD all suffer from related mental health conditions. Our Smart Assessment screens for a growing list of co-conditions, including anxiety, depression, binge eating, obsessive compulsive disorder, loneliness, and problematic social media use, so that your treatment can be as specific and personalized to your needs as possible.

ADHD Symptoms

The best way to know for sure whether or not you have ADHD, is to take our comprehensive Smart Assessment. But if you’re looking for an ADHD symptom list, well we’ve got that too.

Typical symptoms include difficulty paying attention, mood swings, disorganization, hyperactivity, hyperfocus, impulsivity and creativity. You can learn more about each of these on our symptoms list.

Keep in mind that many of these symptoms are things anyone can experience in daily life. Who hasn’t forgotten an appointment, procrastinated on an annoying task, or made a hasty decision? One missed deadline does not mean you have ADHD. As you read this list, jot down which symptoms describe you most of the time to get a better sense of whether or not you might be struggling with ADHD.

ADHD Medication Options in Iowa

Medication is one of many options to consider when exploring treatment for ADHD for both children and adults. To receive a prescription for ADHD medication, you’ll need a comprehensive assessment and diagnosis. Remember that while medication cannot cure ADHD, it can ease your symptoms and make a difference in your everyday life.

What kind of medication is available?

You’ve likely heard of Adderall and Ritalin, but there are other stimulants, non-stimulants, or other forms of treatment that might be right for you. Learn more about your options.
