Florida Access to Care
Why ADHD Care Is So Hard to Find in Florida
Long waitlists, prescribers who won't take new stimulant patients, and pharmacy shortages make ADHD one of the hardest conditions to get treated in Florida.
How ADHD Care Works Here
A Real Evaluation, Not a Ten-Minute Questionnaire
ADHD gets both over-diagnosed and badly missed. The goal is an accurate answer — then a treatment plan you can actually live with.
Structured Evaluation
Validated rating scales, developmental and academic history, and a careful look at what else could explain the symptoms.
Adult ADHD, Including Late Diagnosis
Inattentive presentations in women and high-achievers are routinely missed for decades. That history gets taken seriously here.
Medication Management
Stimulants (methylphenidate and amphetamine classes) and non-stimulants such as atomoxetine, guanfacine, and bupropion — titrated carefully.
Students & College
Documentation for school and university accommodations, plus scheduling that works around class and semester breaks.
Parents and Kids Together
Children and teens 8 and up, with parents included in the plan and school-based concerns addressed directly.
Ongoing Follow-Up
Regular check-ins on dose, sleep, appetite, blood pressure, and function — not a prescription and a wave goodbye.
About Your Provider
Why Dual Certification Matters for ADHD
Christine Forge is board certified in both psychiatric mental health and family practice. That matters for ADHD, because thyroid disease, sleep apnea, anemia, and iron deficiency can all mimic attention problems — and stimulant treatment requires monitoring blood pressure, heart rate, sleep, and appetite over time.
If a medical cause is driving your focus problems, you'll find out here rather than after a year on the wrong medication.
Christine is licensed in Florida with full prescribing authority, including controlled substances when clinically appropriate.
