Short answer: There isn’t a single “best” for everyone, but some telehealth services are consistently recommended for ADHD care and commonly prescribe non‑stimulant options. Which is best for you depends on age (adult vs child), your state, whether you want a psychiatrist vs NP/PA, insurance, and how complex your case is.
Services to consider (why each is worth checking):
- Done (getdone.com) — ADHD‑focused telehealth clinic. Good if you want a streamlined ADHD evaluation and ongoing medication management (they offer both stimulant and non‑stimulant options and coordinate therapy).
- ADHD Online (adhdonline.com) — specialty service that performs diagnostic evaluations and can prescribe non‑stimulants; simple, ADHD‑specific workflow.
- Cerebral (cerebral.com) — large national mental‑health telemedicine platform with psychiatry appointments and medication management; convenient if you want a broad mental‑health team and insurance/subscription options.
- Brightside Health (brightside.com) — evidence‑based psychiatric care for mood/attention issues; useful if you have comorbid anxiety/depression and need medication adjustments (they commonly manage non‑stimulants).
- Talkspace Psychiatry (talkspace.com) / BetterHelp Psychiatry — these therapy platforms also connect to psychiatrists for med management in many states; good if you want combined therapy + prescribing.
- Zocdoc / Local tele‑psychiatrists — not a single clinic but a marketplace to find board‑certified psychiatrists who do telemedicine; best if you prefer to pick an individual psychiatrist experienced with ADHD or complex cases.
- Teladoc / MDLive — larger telemedicine companies that can arrange psychiatric evaluations and prescribe non‑stimulants depending on clinician availability and state rules.
Common non‑stimulant ADHD medications to ask about: atomoxetine (Strattera), extended‑release guanfacine (Intuniv), extended‑release clonidine (Kapvay), bupropion (off‑label), and newer options such as viloxazine (Qelbree) where appropriate. Not every clinician or platform will use every medicine, so check before you sign up.
How to choose:
- Confirm the platform will prescribe the specific non‑stimulant(s) you want.
- Prefer a board‑certified psychiatrist if your case is complex or you have medical comorbidities.
- Check state availability and insurance coverage. Some platforms require you live in certain states.
- Ask about follow‑up frequency, lab monitoring, and coordination with local care (important for children or complicated medical histories).
- Read recent user reviews and clinician bios.
If you tell me your age (adult vs child), state, whether you prefer a psychiatrist vs NP/PA, and whether you have insurance, I can narrow this to the best specific match for you.
