Centennial is one of those cities where everything looks like it is running smoothly. Good schools. Safe neighborhoods. Families with two cars in the driveway and weekend soccer games at deKoevend Park. But behind that put-together exterior, a lot of adults are quietly falling apart -- not because their lives are bad, but because their brains will not let them keep up with how good their lives could be.

That is what untreated ADHD looks like in a place like Centennial. It is the parent who volunteers for everything and follows through on nothing. The DTC professional who is brilliant in meetings but drowning in unread emails. The spouse who keeps forgetting anniversaries, appointments, and promises -- not because they do not care, but because their working memory has a two-minute shelf life. Sound familiar?

High Expectations, Hidden Struggles

The south Denver suburbs attract ambitious, high-achieving people. Arapahoe County has one of the highest median household incomes in Colorado. People here are expected to perform -- at work, at home, as parents. And many of them do, at enormous personal cost, because they are compensating for an ADHD brain without even knowing it.

Compensation works until it does not. Eventually the stress of holding everything together manually catches up. Burnout. Anxiety. Marital tension. Career stalls. These are not signs of failure. They are signs that a smart, capable person has been running on fumes because no one ever evaluated them for the condition that has been making everything ten times harder than it needs to be.

ADHD One provides that evaluation. Our providers specialize in adult ADHD -- not generalist psychiatry with ADHD as a side note. Appointments are available the same week you call.

What Your Evaluation Covers

A thorough ADHD evaluation takes 45 to 60 minutes. Here is what your provider will assess:

  • Executive function -- planning, prioritizing, starting and finishing tasks, managing time
  • Attention regulation -- the ability to direct and sustain focus, not just the absence of it
  • Emotional patterns -- ADHD often includes irritability, rejection sensitivity, and difficulty managing frustration
  • Lifetime trajectory -- your provider will look for patterns going back to childhood and adolescence
  • Rule-outs -- anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and perimenopause can all produce ADHD-like symptoms

If ADHD is confirmed, you walk out with a clear plan. For most adults, that includes medication -- which one, what dose, and what to expect. Your provider will also schedule follow-up visits to fine-tune treatment over the first few months.

Medication Management Done Right

Finding the right ADHD medication is not always instant. Some people respond perfectly to the first thing they try. Others need adjustments. That is normal, and it is exactly what follow-up visits are for.

Your provider will monitor your response, check for side effects, and adjust your dose or switch medications until you find what works. This is not guesswork -- it is clinical practice. And for patients who want an edge, GeneSight testing can identify which medications your body is genetically predisposed to respond to before you ever take the first dose.
