Adult ADHD
Adult ADHD Diagnosis and Medication, Online Across Maryland
Dr. Hardik Yadav, MD
Board-Certified Psychiatrist · Addiction Medicine (ABPM) · Maryland
Missed deadlines, a scattered mind, the feeling that you're working twice as hard just to keep up: for a lot of adults, that pattern turns out to be undiagnosed ADHD.
Adult ADHD That's Been Treated as Anxiety or Depression
Dr. Hardik Yadav, MD, a Board-Certified Psychiatrist, diagnoses and treats adult ADHD across Maryland by video, starting with a real evaluation and offering both stimulant and non-stimulant options. Evening and weekend appointments are open.
A lot of adults spend years on treatment for anxiety or low mood while the ADHD underneath it goes unnamed. Because Dr. Yadav treats depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and ADHD, one evaluation can weigh all of it together and find the piece that has been driving the rest. He has seen the secondary anxiety and low mood ease once the ADHD itself was treated, and some of his patients were able to step down from antidepressants they no longer needed. If earlier treatment never quite fit, naming what is actually driving it is where a better plan starts.
Adult ADHD Managed by a Board-Certified Psychiatrist
The psychiatrist who diagnoses you is the same one who manages your medication at every follow-up. Dr. Yadav is a Board-Certified Psychiatrist with over 15 years of experience and a Master's in Public Health, and he has handled severe, complex cases through his work in the corrections system. Adult ADHD is a clinical diagnosis he makes and manages himself, so the plan is set by the doctor who already knows your history and stays with you through each adjustment.
A Real ADHD Evaluation With the ASRS Scale
Your first visit runs a full 60 minutes with Dr. Yadav. He takes a detailed history of how focus, follow-through, and restlessness show up at work and at home, uses the ASRS screening scale to measure your symptoms, and checks for the anxiety, depression, and sleep problems that often travel with ADHD. That full picture is what a sound medication plan is built on, so the diagnosis reflects how ADHD actually plays out across your day.
Stimulant and Non-Stimulant Options, Matched to You
There is no single ADHD medication that works for everyone. Dr. Yadav manages adult ADHD medication by telehealth and reviews both stimulant and non-stimulant options with you. When stimulants are not the right fit, some patients do better on non-stimulant medications such as Wellbutrin XL, Strattera, Intuniv, or Viloxazine. When it helps to understand how your body processes a given medication, he can order genetic testing to guide the choice. The plan gets adjusted over follow-up visits as you see how it works, with steady focus and side effects you can live with as the goal.
Care That Fits a Working Schedule
Every appointment is online, so you can be seen from home or a private spot at work, anywhere in Maryland. New patients can usually start within the same week, medication check-ins run about 30 minutes, and evening and weekend times are available for people who cannot step away during the day. The platforms are HIPAA-compliant, and because care is private and cash-pay, nothing runs through insurance, so your ADHD treatment does not show up on an insurance record or reach your employer.
What Adult ADHD Treatment Costs and How Cash-Pay Works
Ansh Health Associates publishes its rates, so there are no surprises. An initial 60-minute ADHD evaluation is $350, and each follow-up visit is $200. Because Dr. Yadav's care is cash-pay, you pay at the visit by credit, debit, or HSA/FSA card, and he can provide a superbill with the CPT codes filled in for you to submit toward possible reimbursement. If you want to size it up first, the free 15-minute consult covers your situation and how the visits work before you commit to anything.
“Plenty of adults were treated for anxiety or depression for years when ADHD was really driving it. Sort out the ADHD and the rest often gets lighter.”
Dr. Yadav is a Board-Certified Psychiatrist and an Addiction Medicine Specialist (American Board of Preventive Medicine), with an MD, a Master of Public Health, and over 15 years of experience that includes complex cases in the corrections system.
