Adult ADHD Evaluation and Treatment in Gilbert, AZ
ADHD and focus challenges are a core focus at Amikal Psychiatry. Your care is led by Guylene Lucien, DNP, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 25 years in healthcare and experience treating ADHD in inpatient, outpatient and community settings.
ADHD Evaluation
Your evaluation reviews current symptoms, childhood history, daily functioning and related conditions such as anxiety and depression, which often look like or occur with ADHD.
ADHD Medication Management
If medication is appropriate, options may include stimulant or non-stimulant medications. Your provider monitors effectiveness, sleep, appetite and side effects during follow-ups. Stimulants are controlled substances and are prescribed for Arizona patients only; they cannot currently be prescribed for patients in New Mexico or Oregon.
Medication works best with structure. Your plan can include coping skills, routines, sleep habits and psychotherapy to improve organization and follow-through.
Skills and Lifestyle Support
Stimulant vs. Non-Stimulant ADHD Medication
Stimulants, such as methylphenidate and amphetamine-based medications, are the most commonly prescribed ADHD treatments and often work within hours. Non-stimulants, such as atomoxetine, take longer to work but may suit people with anxiety, sleep problems or side effects from stimulants. Your provider reviews the benefits and risks of each option and chooses the safest fit for your health and goals.
