Glendale sits at the center of the West Valley, a city of nearly 250,000 people that has grown faster than its healthcare infrastructure can keep up with. Between the State Farm Stadium entertainment district, Luke Air Force Base, Midwestern University, and the steady residential growth pushing out toward the White Tank Mountains, Glendale is a city full of busy people -- many of whom are struggling with undiagnosed ADHD and have no idea.
That last part matters. ADHD in adults does not always look like the hyperactive kid bouncing off walls. In grown adults, it looks like losing your keys every single morning. Missing bill payments even though you have the money. Starting ten projects and finishing none. Feeling like you are always behind no matter how early you wake up. If any of that sounds familiar, it is worth getting evaluated.
The West Valley ADHD Gap
Finding a psychiatrist who specializes in adult ADHD anywhere in the Phoenix metro takes effort. In the West Valley, it is even harder. Most specialists are clustered in Scottsdale and central Phoenix, which means Glendale residents face either long drives or long wait times -- sometimes both.
Military families near Luke AFB deal with an extra layer of complexity. Frequent moves disrupt care continuity, and Tricare referral requirements can add weeks to the process. Active duty members and their spouses often end up managing ADHD symptoms on their own simply because the system moves too slowly.
ADHD One cuts through that. Our providers specialize in adult ADHD. Appointments are available the same week. No referral needed. And because your provider is licensed in Arizona, you get the same continuity of care regardless of what is happening with your duty station.
A Real Evaluation, Not a Checklist
A proper ADHD evaluation takes time. Your first appointment with an ADHD One provider typically lasts 45 to 60 minutes and covers:
- Your symptoms now -- focus, organization, time management, impulsivity, emotional swings
- Your history -- when these patterns started, how they have changed, what you have tried before
- Other possibilities -- anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and hormonal changes can mimic or overlap with ADHD
- Your daily life -- how symptoms show up at work, at home, in relationships, and with finances
- Medical background -- important for safe prescribing if medication is recommended
If ADHD is confirmed, you and your provider build a treatment plan together. Medication is one option, and if it is the right fit, your provider will start you on a conservative dose and adjust from there during follow-up visits. No cookie-cutter prescriptions.
Beyond the Diagnosis
A diagnosis without follow-through is just a label. What makes treatment work is ongoing care -- regular check-ins where your provider monitors how your medication is working, adjusts if needed, and helps you build systems that support your brain instead of fighting it.
For patients who want more data, we offer GeneSight testing to identify which medications your body is most likely to respond to based on your genetics. We also offer Creyos cognitive testing to measure attention, memory, and processing speed before and during treatment.
