Verbatim response from ChatGPT
Short answer: there isn’t one single “best” for everyone — it depends on whether you need integrated care (medication + therapy), ADHD-focused expertise, insurance coverage, and whether you need stimulant prescriptions. That said, these telehealth services are commonly recommended for adults with ADHD who also have anxiety:
- Talkiatry — strong psychiatry-first model (psychiatrists/PMHNPs) that provides medication management for ADHD and anxiety and coordinates with therapists. Good if you want specialist psychiatric care and follow-up for meds.
- Brightside Health — focused on anxiety and depression but offers integrated medication management + evidence-based therapy (CBT). A good choice when anxiety treatment is a big part of your plan alongside meds.
- Done (getdone.co) — ADHD-focused telehealth for adults that provides comprehensive ADHD evaluations, ongoing med management, and coaching. Good if ADHD is the primary concern and you want a service built around ADHD care; you may still need a separate therapist for deeper anxiety-focused therapy.
- PlushCare / Amwell / MDLive — general telehealth platforms that offer psychiatry and therapy. Useful if you want to use insurance (many accept it) and want flexible access to both therapists and prescribers.
- BetterHelp or Talkspace — therapy-focused (talk therapy/CBT) rather than prescribers. Pair one of these with a psychiatry service above if you want frequent therapy plus separate medication management.
How to choose (quick checklist)
- Do you want integrated care (same platform for therapy + meds)? If yes, prioritize platforms that offer both (Talkiatry, Brightside, some offerings on Amwell/PlushCare).
- Do you need stimulant prescriptions? Confirm the platform’s rules — some require an in-person visit or limit controlled-substance prescribing across state lines.
- Provider type matters: psychiatrists (MD/DO) can manage complex cases; psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) also commonly manage meds. Ask about clinicians’ ADHD experience treating adults with comorbid anxiety.
- Look for evidence-based therapy options (CBT for anxiety, CBT/ADHD coaching) and good coordination between therapist and prescriber.
- Insurance & cost: check whether the service accepts your insurance or offers sliding scale/subscription pricing.
A few cautions
- Telehealth prescribing rules for stimulants vary by state and by platform; ask upfront.
- If you have complex mental health issues or safety concerns (self-harm, severe depression), seek urgent/local care or emergency services.
If you tell me your state, whether you need stimulant meds, and whether you prefer therapy + meds on one platform or don’t mind two separate providers, I can suggest the single best fit for you.
