ADHD Online Meets Growing Need for ADHD Diagnosis and Treatment Amidst COVID-19 Pandemic

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., February 4, 2021 (Newswire.com) - The COVID-19 pandemic, and its ensuing social distancing protocols, has brought an increased need for ADHD diagnosis and treatment. ADHD Online, LLC has seen a 100% increase in engagement over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Treatment for ADHD requires a formal diagnosis of ADHD by a licensed psychologist. In the past, patients could wait up to six months and spend up to $2,500 just to be diagnosed. ADHD Online's proprietary platform allows for ADHD evaluation that is simple, fast, and inexpensive, without ever having to set foot in a doctor's office. ADHD Online also offers a growing medication management program, virtual counseling, form completion, cognitive behavioral therapy, neurofeedback, and many more treatment options that vary by state.

"We have seen a marked increase in engagement during the COVID-19 pandemic. Because of our exclusive online platform, our highly specialized experts are well-positioned to treat these cases in adults and children alike," said Zachariah Booker, co-founder and CEO of ADHD Online.

"Online school and work-from-home has compelled many children and adults to find better treatment options for their ADHD. Our multidisciplinary approach is to partner with patients to develop a comprehensive treatment plan that is both safe and effective - all from the comfort of their homes." 

ADHD Online's online assessment is available now, and its comprehensive care program is slated to be offered in all 50 states in the next six months.

By leveraging technology, ADHD Online's network of over 75 professional psychologists was able to reduce wait times from months to days and out-of-pocket costs for uninsured patients from up to $2,500 to just $149. Since its inception, ADHD Online has assessed thousands of adult and pediatric patients for ADHD in all 50 states. Most insurance plans include ADHD assessments as a covered benefit and reimburse patients for part or all of the assessment fee.
