Verbatim response from ChatGPT
Short answer: go with a telehealth service that provides both psychiatry (for medication management) and licensed psychotherapy (CBT for anxiety and ADHD coaching/therapy). My top picks:
- Brightside Health — strong choice for combined anxiety + ADHD care. Offers integrated psychiatry and evidence‑based therapy (CBT) with coordinated treatment plans, good clinical protocols, and care teams that treat comorbid anxiety and ADHD together.
- Done (DoneHealth) — excellent if your primary need is ADHD medication management from clinicians who specialize in adult ADHD. Fast, ADHD‑focused workflows and refill/monitoring systems. Less comprehensive on anxiety therapy, so pair with a therapist if anxiety treatment is needed.
- SteadyMD — good if you want a single clinician (MD) for ongoing primary/psychiatric care and care coordination. Helpful for complex patients who want continuity and a doctor who can manage ADHD plus anxiety long‑term.
- PlushCare / Amwell / Teladoc — general telepsychiatry marketplaces that provide psychiatrists and therapists, often take insurance, and can treat both ADHD and anxiety through coordinated med management + therapy. Good when insurance coverage or state availability matters.
- Talkspace / BetterHelp — therapy-first platforms (Talkspace also offers psychiatric visits in many states). Choose these if you mainly want regular teletherapy (CBT for anxiety, CBT‑ADHD, or coaching) and add a telepsychiatry service for meds.
What to check before you sign up
- Do they treat both ADHD and anxiety (not just one)? Are therapy and psychiatry coordinated?
- Can they legally prescribe stimulant medications in your state? (Policies vary.)
- Who you'll see (psychiatrist vs psychiatric nurse practitioner or primary‑care MD) and their ADHD/anxiety experience.
- Cost and insurance coverage, wait times, and refill/monitoring policies.
- Availability of evidence‑based therapies (CBT for anxiety, CBT‑ADHD, coaching).
If you tell me your state, budget/insurance, and whether you need mainly meds vs therapy, I can suggest the single best option for you and link next steps.
