Mesa is the third-largest city in Arizona, and it moves fast. Over half a million people live here, commuting the Superstition Freeway, working at Banner Desert Medical Center, studying at ASU Polytechnic, or running businesses along Main Street. If you have ADHD and you live in this part of the East Valley, keeping pace with all of that without the right support is exhausting.

The problem most Mesa residents run into is not a lack of motivation. It is a brain that refuses to cooperate when it matters most. You sit down to finish a project and end up reorganizing your desk drawer. You leave for work on time but somehow arrive late because you forgot your badge, then your lunch, then circled back for your phone. These are not personality flaws. They are symptoms of a neurological condition that responds well to proper treatment.

Why Adults in Mesa Put Off Getting Help

Mesa has a lot of healthcare options, but finding a provider who specializes in adult ADHD is harder than it should be. Most psychiatrists in the East Valley have wait times measured in months. Primary care doctors can prescribe ADHD medication, but many are not comfortable diagnosing it -- especially in adults who were never diagnosed as kids.

So people wait. They try harder. They download another productivity app. They beat themselves up for not being able to do what seems easy for everyone else. And the longer they wait, the more damage untreated ADHD does to their careers, relationships, and self-esteem.

ADHD One exists to shorten that gap. Our providers focus exclusively on ADHD in adults. Evaluations are thorough -- typically 45 to 60 minutes -- and appointments are available the same week you call.

What Happens During Your First Appointment

Your evaluation covers everything a proper ADHD diagnosis requires:

  • Current symptoms -- attention, focus, impulsivity, time blindness, emotional regulation
  • History -- ADHD is a lifelong condition, so your provider will ask about patterns going back to childhood
  • Ruling out other causes -- anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, and thyroid issues can all look like ADHD
  • Functional impact -- how your symptoms affect work, school, relationships, and finances
  • Medical history -- current medications, heart health, blood pressure

If ADHD is confirmed, your provider discusses treatment options with you during the same visit. That might mean a stimulant like Adderall or Vyvanse, a non-stimulant like Strattera or Qelbree, or something else entirely depending on your profile. You are not handed a prescription and sent away. You get a plan.

Ongoing Care That Actually Works

Getting the diagnosis is the first step. Staying on track is where most people need the most help. ADHD medication often requires fine-tuning -- adjusting doses, switching formulations, managing side effects. That is why follow-up visits are built into your care plan from day one.

We also offer GeneSight pharmacogenomic testing for patients who want to take the guesswork out of medication selection. It is a simple cheek swab that shows how your body processes different psychiatric medications. Not required, but helpful -- especially if you have tried medications before that did not work or caused bad side effects.

Serving the Entire East Valley

Our Mesa patients come from across the East Valley -- Gilbert, Chandler, Apache Junction, Gold Canyon, Superstition Springs, and the communities along the US-60 corridor. Whether you live near Riverview or out past Signal Butte, access to specialized ADHD care should not depend on your zip code.
