Quiet suburban neighborhood in Gilbert Arizona with families walking along tree-lined sidewalks
Gilbert is one of the safest cities in America. But safe neighborhoods can't protect you from your own brain.

When Your Kid Gets Diagnosed and You Think "Wait -- That Sounds Like Me"

It happens in Gilbert all the time. Your child's teacher calls. They say your son can't sit still. They say your daughter daydreams through every lesson. You take your kid to get checked out. They get diagnosed with ADHD.

And sitting in that appointment, listening to the doctor describe your child's brain, you feel something strange. Recognition. Because everything they are saying about your kid? That is your whole life.

The trouble paying attention. The lost keys. The forgotten appointments. The feeling of being overwhelmed by things everyone else handles fine. You thought that was just who you are. Now you are not so sure.

ADHD Runs in Families

This is not a coincidence. ADHD is one of the most heritable conditions in psychiatry. If your child has it, there is a strong chance one or both parents do too.

But here is the catch. When you grew up, nobody was checking for ADHD -- especially if you were a girl, or if you got decent grades, or if you were just labeled "spacey" or "lazy." You found ways to cope. You made lists. You set alarms. You worked harder than everyone else.

Those workarounds got you through school, through college, through your career. But now you are raising kids in Gilbert, managing a household, juggling sports schedules and homework and meal prep -- and the coping strategies are breaking down.

Signs You Have Been Masking ADHD Your Whole Life

Does any of this sound familiar?

You forget things your partner told you five minutes ago. You start cleaning the kitchen and end up reorganizing the garage. You feel guilty because you can't keep up with the other parents. You procrastinate on simple tasks until they become emergencies. You have always been "forgetful" but now it is getting worse.

If you see yourself in those words, you deserve answers -- not just for your kid, but for you. Take our free 2-minute ADHD screening and find out.

How ADHD Treatment Works at ADHD One

You already have enough on your plate. We made this simple.

Step 1: Reach out. Call (855) 468-2343 or fill out the form on this page. Do it during nap time, after drop-off, whenever works.

Step 2: Talk to a provider. A licensed psychiatric provider meets with you by video. They know what ADHD looks like in adults who have been masking for decades. Here is what that conversation looks like.

Step 3: Get your own plan. If ADHD fits, your provider builds a plan just for you. Medication, strategies, or both. See which medications work best for different situations.

We offer same-day appointments because we know parents can't plan three months ahead.

Frequently Asked Questions

My child has ADHD. Does that mean I probably do too?

Not always, but it is very common. ADHD is highly genetic. If your child has been diagnosed and the symptoms sound familiar to you, getting checked is a smart move. Many parents in Gilbert discover their own ADHD this way.

I got good grades in school. Can I still have ADHD?

Yes. Good grades do not rule out ADHD. Many people with ADHD compensate by working twice as hard. They look successful on the outside but feel exhausted and scattered on the inside.

Can I schedule around my kids' school schedule?

Absolutely. We offer flexible scheduling including mornings and afternoons. Everything is by video, so you can take your appointment from home while the kids are at school.

Will ADHD medication change my personality?

No. The right ADHD medication helps you think more clearly. It does not change who you are. If a medication makes you feel flat or unlike yourself, your provider will adjust it until it fits right.

Do you treat children too?

We focus on adults. But we understand that your child's diagnosis is often what opens the door for the whole family. If you are a parent in Gilbert who just realized you might have ADHD, we are here for you.
