Adult ADHD evaluation & treatment in Daphne.
You’ve spent years holding it together — the lists, the alarms, the routines that work until they don’t. Adult ADHD can look capable from the outside and exhausting from the inside.
What it looks like day to day.
- Hours vanish before you start
- Projects stall just short of finished
- You lose the thought halfway through
- One interruption knocks you off course
- Easy things feel impossibly hard
“I did well in school — someone would have noticed.”
Maybe not. Good grades can hide how much urgency, overpreparation, anxiety, or extra time it took to keep up. For some people, the pattern becomes obvious only when adult life outgrows the workarounds.

Common questions.
Do I need formal testing for ADHD?
Usually not. ADHD is diagnosed through a clinical evaluation of your history, symptoms, and how they affect daily life. Questionnaires can help, but no single test diagnoses ADHD. Formal testing may be useful when the diagnosis remains unclear.
What else can look like ADHD?
Anxiety, depression, poor sleep, substance use, and some medical conditions can all affect attention. The evaluation considers when the pattern started, where it shows up, and what else may be contributing.
Will I be prescribed a stimulant?
If the evaluation confirms ADHD and a stimulant is a safe fit, yes. Stimulants such as Adderall® (amphetamine/dextroamphetamine) and Vyvanse® (lisdexamfetamine) are among the most effective ADHD treatments. Non-stimulant options are also available.
Can I continue my current ADHD medication?
Often, yes. Dr. Lackey reviews your diagnosis, current medication, and records when available. If the diagnosis and treatment still fit, the goal is to continue without interruption.
Can I follow up by telehealth?
Yes. After your first in-person visit, follow-ups can often be by telehealth.
