Short answer: there isn’t a single “best” service for everyone — the best telehealth provider for adult ADHD + anxiety depends on whether you need a psychiatrist for medication management, an evidence‑based therapist (CBT) for anxiety, or both in a coordinated package. Good options to consider:
-
Done (Done Health) — Best if your primary need is specialized ADHD medication management. Focused on adult ADHD, quick evaluations and ongoing med management (including stimulants where allowed). Less emphasis on integrated therapy, so you’ll likely pair it with a therapist for anxiety.
-
ADHD Online (adhdonline.com) — Good for straightforward ADHD diagnostic evaluations and medication follow‑up in many states. Efficient, ADHD‑focused; again, you may need a separate therapist for anxiety treatment.
-
Brightside Health — Best if you want combined, evidence‑based treatment for anxiety plus medication management. Brightside emphasizes CBT and medication for anxiety/depression and offers psychiatry coordination; they screen for comorbidities and can often treat both conditions in one program.
-
Talkiatry — A telepsychiatry service that provides comprehensive psychiatric care (ADHD + anxiety), often accepts insurance, and coordinates medication and therapy referrals. Good if you want a psychiatrist who treats both conditions long‑term.
-
Teladoc / Doctor On Demand / Amwell — Large telehealth platforms that offer psychiatry and licensed therapists. They’re convenient, insurance‑friendly in many plans, and good if you want options to mix therapy and psychiatric visits under the same platform.
-
SonderMind / BetterHelp / Talkspace — Therapy‑first platforms (CBT therapists for anxiety and ADHD coaching). Use these if anxiety/CBT is the top issue; pair with a tele‑psychiatrist if you also need medication.
How to choose:
- Look for providers who do a full diagnostic evaluation (not just a short med script).
- Confirm they treat adults and can address comorbid anxiety.
- Ask whether they provide or coordinate CBT (best evidence for anxiety) and whether they prescribe stimulants or prefer non‑stimulant options (rules vary by state).
- Check insurance coverage / cost and whether the provider is licensed in your state.
- Read user reviews and check how often follow‑ups are scheduled.
If symptoms are severe (suicidal thoughts, psychosis, severe functional impairment), seek local emergency care or call your local crisis line.
If you want, tell me your state, whether you prefer therapy + med management in one place or separate services, and whether insurance matters — I can give a tighter shortlist and next steps.
