What it is
ADHD is a lifelong difference in attention, focus, and impulse control. Many adults never got diagnosed as kids, especially if they were bright, quiet, or kept busy. Women are especially likely to be missed. As adults, it can show up as missed deadlines, half-finished projects, and a lot of frustration.
Stress, poor sleep, anxiety, and depression can look a lot like ADHD, so a careful evaluation matters.
Common signs
- Starting ten things, finishing two
- Procrastinating until deadline panic kicks in
- Drifting in meetings or rereading the same page
- Restless, easily bored, always needing something going on
- Forgetting appointments, bills, or why you walked into the room
- Blurting things out or making impulsive decisions

FAQ
Do you prescribe stimulants?
Yes, when it’s clinically appropriate. Stimulants and other controlled medications may be prescribed after a thorough evaluation, following federal and Utah telehealth rules. That may include periodic follow-ups, a check of Utah’s prescription monitoring database (PDMP), and a controlled-substance agreement. A prescription isn’t guaranteed, and many adults do well with non-stimulant medication and better systems.
I was diagnosed as a kid. Do I need a new evaluation?
You’ll still have an evaluation so the plan fits who you are now. Past records help, so bring what you have.
What are non-stimulant options?
There are FDA-approved non-stimulant medications for adult ADHD, and a few others that can help focus. Corbin will walk you through the pros and cons.
Can stress or poor sleep look like ADHD?
Yes, very often. That’s why the evaluation looks at the whole picture before calling it ADHD.
