ADHD is a neurobiological condition affecting the brain's executive function systems. While often diagnosed in childhood, many adults first recognize their symptoms when increased responsibilities exceed their coping strategies. Adult ADHD commonly presents as:
Many adults with ADHD spend years compensating through extra effort, anxiety-driven routines, or systems that are difficult to maintain. Thoughtful treatment can reduce that burden and make daily life more manageable.
Stimulant medications represent the most extensively studied and effective treatment for ADHD in adults. These medications normalize dopamine and norepinephrine signaling in the prefrontal cortex and other regions critical for attention and impulse control.
Available stimulant classes:
Safety and Monitoring: As Schedule II controlled substances, stimulants require comprehensive medical oversight. I conduct identity verification, cardiovascular screening, prescription monitoring program checks, and regular clinical follow-up to ensure safe, appropriate use.
For patients with contraindications to stimulants or who prefer alternative approaches, several non-stimulant options demonstrate efficacy:
Many patients do best when medication is paired with evidence-based strategies for time management, task initiation, organization, and emotional regulation. Membership includes secure messaging to discuss practical challenges and adjust the plan over time.
Maryland has embraced telehealth as an effective modality for ADHD management, offering distinct advantages:
Maryland Telehealth Law: Dr. Foroutan is licensed by the Maryland Board of Physicians and complies with all Maryland telehealth regulations. Current federal guidelines (effective through December 31, 2026) permit controlled substance prescribing via telehealth without an initial in-person encounter.
The process is designed to make the first steps clear and manageable:
Start with a brief visit to discuss your concerns, review fit, and go over the next steps in care.
If Bonsai Health is a good fit, you'll receive portal access, complete your medical history forms, and schedule a full initial evaluation.
Ongoing care includes follow-up visits, secure messaging, refill planning, and coordination with Maryland pharmacies and insurance companies as needed.
