Why Choose MindMED?

ADHD Treatment for Flower Mound Adults

If you’re searching for ADHD treatment in Flower Mound, MindMED Behavioral Health is the closest board-certified MD psychiatry practice for most of the city — about 18-22 minutes from central Flower Mound via FM 1171 or Cross Timbers Road to TX-114. Adult ADHD evaluation and medication management is one of the most common reasons Flower Mound residents reach out.

The patterns we see most often in our Flower Mound caseload aren’t the elementary-school-boy stereotype of ADHD. They’re working parents in their 30s and 40s — frequently mothers — who realize after their child’s evaluation that the same symptoms have been quietly affecting them for decades. They’re high-performing professionals managing demanding LISD or Argyle ISD school schedules, dual-career households, and complex calendars who finally hit a load that their compensatory systems can’t handle. They’re adults whose chronic procrastination, time-blindness, and emotional dysregulation has always been chalked up to personality but actually has a clinical name.

Our adult ADHD evaluation is a comprehensive 60-90 minute psychiatric visit that uses DSM-5-TR criteria, standardized rating scales (ASRS-v1.1 and the WURS for retrospective childhood symptoms), and a careful differential to rule out the conditions that mimic ADHD — anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, thyroid dysfunction. We don’t rush the evaluation, and we don’t reach a diagnosis based on a 15-minute checklist appointment.

Stimulant prescribing requires an in-person visit

If your evaluation results in an ADHD diagnosis and stimulant medication (Adderall, Vyvanse, Concerta, Focalin) is the right clinical choice, federal DEA rules and Texas law require an in-person visit before stimulants can be prescribed. This is one practical reason a nearby Southlake office matters for Flower Mound patients — the in-person component is genuinely 18-22 minutes away rather than a 45-minute drive into Dallas or Fort Worth. Follow-up visits can be telehealth once the in-person evaluation is complete.

Non-stimulant ADHD medications (atomoxetine, guanfacine, viloxazine, bupropion) don’t have the in-person requirement and can be managed entirely via telehealth if that’s a better fit for your situation. Dr. Fredes will discuss medication options at your evaluation rather than presuming what’s right.

We accept Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, UnitedHealthcare and Optum, and Oscar Health for adult ADHD evaluation and ongoing care. Self-pay options ($400 initial evaluation, $200 follow-up visits) and superbills for out-of-network reimbursement are also available.

Can I do all my visits via telehealth from Flower Mound?

Yes, for most conditions. The exception is ADHD: Texas law and DEA rules require an in-person evaluation before stimulant medications can be prescribed. After that initial in-person visit, follow-ups can be telehealth. For all other conditions (anxiety, depression, OCD, women’s mental health, sleep, mood disorders), care can be delivered entirely via telehealth.

Do you prescribe medication for ADHD?

Yes. Dr. Fredes provides comprehensive adult ADHD evaluation and medication management, including both stimulant and non-stimulant medications. Note that Texas law and DEA rules require an in-person initial evaluation before stimulant medications can be prescribed, even if subsequent visits will be telehealth.

Does Dr. Fredes see patients herself, or am I assigned to a nurse practitioner?

Dr. Fredes sees every patient herself. There are no NP handoffs and no rotating providers. The doctor you book with is the doctor you see, every visit. This is a core part of how MindMED operates as a solo practice.
