ADHD in adults often manifests differently than in children. Many adults develop coping strategies that can mask symptoms for years until work, family, or other responsibilities make those strategies harder to sustain. Common adult ADHD symptoms include:
If these symptoms resonate with you and impact your work, relationships, or quality of life, professional evaluation may be beneficial.
The gold standard for ADHD treatment involves stimulant medications, which have decades of research supporting their efficacy and safety. These medications work by increasing dopamine and norepinephrine activity in regions of the brain responsible for attention and executive function.
Common stimulant options include:
Important: Stimulants are Schedule II controlled substances requiring careful medical supervision. All prescriptions follow strict safety protocols, including identity verification, prescription monitoring, and cardiovascular screening.
For patients with contraindications to stimulants (such as cardiovascular concerns, substance use history, or preference), non-stimulant medications offer effective alternatives:
Medication can be helpful, but many patients do best when treatment also includes behavioral strategies and day-to-day systems that are realistic to maintain. Membership includes ongoing support from me for implementing organizational strategies and lifestyle changes over time.
Virginia telehealth regulations support comprehensive virtual care for ADHD, offering significant advantages:
Virginia Telehealth Compliance: Dr. Foroutan is licensed by the Virginia Board of Medicine and follows all state regulations for telehealth practice. Under current federal guidelines (through December 31, 2026), controlled substances may be prescribed via telehealth without an initial in-person visit.
The Virginia ADHD care process is designed to make the first steps clear:
Start with a brief visit to discuss your concerns, review fit, and talk through 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 Virginia pharmacies and insurance companies as needed.
Yes. Virginia law permits licensed physicians to prescribe ADHD medications via telehealth. Dr. Foroutan is fully licensed in Virginia and follows all applicable state and federal regulations for controlled substance prescribing.
No. I provide diagnostic evaluation as part of the initial assessment. If you suspect ADHD but have never been formally diagnosed, I can conduct a comprehensive evaluation. If you have prior documentation, please bring it to expedite the process.
Many insurance plans cover ADHD medications, though prior authorization may be required. The Synergy membership includes insurance advocacy support, and I handle prior authorization paperwork and coordinate with pharmacies to find the most affordable options.
For new patients starting stimulant medications, I typically recommend follow-up within 2-4 weeks to assess response and tolerability. Once stable, most patients need appointments every 2-3 months. You have unlimited messaging access between appointments.
Yes. I frequently assume care for patients who are stable on current medications but need a new provider due to insurance changes, relocation, or dissatisfaction with prior care. I will review your treatment history and ensure continuity of your regimen, subject to clinical review.
Controlled substance regulations prohibit early refills except in documented extenuating circumstances (such as verified theft with police report). I use proactive refill tracking to help prevent gaps in your medication supply. The policy requires 2 business days' notice for refill requests.
Pricing is straightforward:
Note: Membership fees cover clinical care and coordination. Medication costs are separate and depend on insurance coverage and pharmacy pricing.
