Why ADHD Gets Missed in Las Vegas
Las Vegas never sleeps. And if you work here, neither do you.
Maybe you deal cards at 2 AM. Maybe you wait tables during a double. Maybe you work the front desk at a hotel and your shifts change every week.
Here's the problem. When you're tired all the time, you blame the schedule. You think, "Of course I can't focus. I only slept five hours."
But what if it's not just the sleep? What if your brain has been wired differently your whole life -- and your job just makes it harder to see?
That's what ADHD looks like in Las Vegas. It hides behind the grind.
Shift Work Makes ADHD Worse
ADHD and bad sleep feed each other. Your brain already has trouble with focus, planning, and follow-through. Take away a normal sleep schedule, and everything gets louder.
You lose your keys more. You forget to pay that bill. You snap at people you care about. You sit in your car after work and can't figure out what you need to do next.
Most people in Vegas just push through it. They drink more coffee. They scroll their phone for hours. They call it burnout.
It might not be burnout. It might be ADHD.
Signs You Might Have ADHD (Not Just Burnout)
Burnout gets better when you rest. ADHD doesn't. Ask yourself these questions:
Did you have trouble staying on task before this job? Did school feel harder than it should have? Do you lose track of time, even on your days off? Do you start things but rarely finish them? Is it hard to sit still, even when you're exhausted?
If you said yes to most of those, it's worth looking into. A quick screening can tell you a lot. Take our free 2-minute ADHD screening and see where you stand.
Not Sure If It's ADHD?
Our free screening takes about 2 minutes. It's based on the same tool doctors use. No commitment, no cost.

You don't need to drive across town. You don't need to take a day off work. You don't even need to change out of your scrubs.
Everything happens by video. Here's how it works:
Step 1: You reach out. Call us at (855) 468-2343 or fill out the form on this page. We'll get back to you fast.
Step 2: You meet with a provider. A licensed psychiatric provider talks with you one-on-one. They ask about your history, your symptoms, and how life is going. Here's what that conversation looks like.
Step 3: You get a plan. If ADHD is the right diagnosis, your provider walks you through your options. That might be medication, strategies, or both. You can see which medications work best for your situation.
Many people we can often see you the same day you call. No waiting months for a spot.
Built for People With Unpredictable Schedules
We know your Tuesday looks nothing like your Friday. That's fine.
Our appointments work around you. Morning, afternoon, or evening. You pick what fits. And because everything is by video, you can do it from your couch, your break room, or your car in the parking garage.
Refills are simple too. Quick check-ins with your provider keep your prescription active. No hoops. No surprises. Your refill visits are short and easy to schedule.
We Serve All of Clark County
You don't have to be in a specific zip code. If you live anywhere in the Las Vegas area, we can help. That includes:

We also serve patients across all of Nevada, including Reno, Carson City, and Sparks.
What If It's Not ADHD?
That's okay. Not everyone who struggles to focus has ADHD. Sometimes it really is the sleep. Sometimes it's anxiety, depression, or something else.
A good evaluation sorts that out. Our providers are trained to tell the difference. You won't get pushed into a diagnosis that doesn't fit. And you won't leave without a clear answer.

Call us at (855) 468-2343 or fill out our contact form. We'll take it from there.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get an ADHD check-up if I work night shifts?
Yes. We schedule appointments at times that work for you, including mornings and evenings. Everything is by video, so you don't have to drive anywhere or take time off.
How fast can I be seen in Las Vegas?
Many patients are seen within a few days. In some cases, we can schedule you the same day you reach out. Call (855) 468-2343 to check availability.
Do you accept insurance in Nevada?
We accept several major insurance plans in Nevada. When you reach out, we'll verify your coverage before your first appointment so there are no surprises.
Can shift work cause ADHD?
Shift work doesn't cause ADHD. ADHD is something you're born with. But irregular schedules and poor sleep can make ADHD symptoms much worse -- and can also make it harder to realize you have it in the first place.
What if I've already tried medication and it didn't work?
There are many ADHD medications, and the first one isn't always the right fit. Our providers work with you to find what actually helps -- whether that's a different dose, a different medication, or a non-stimulant option that might be a better match.
