ADHD Testing and Evaluation
It may surprise some people to learn that ADHD and mood disorders frequently co-occur. In many cases, undiagnosed ADHD can look like or worsen symptoms of depression, anxiety, or emotional dysregulation. As a result, accurate evaluation is essential before making treatment decisions.
Wayfinder Psychiatry and Wellness offers ADHD testing as part of our holistic services. A thorough evaluation helps ensure that all contributing factors are identified and addressed in your personalized care plan.
Why Personalized Care Matters for Mood Disorders
There is no universal formula for mood disorder treatment. Every person’s experience is shaped by a unique combination of genetics, life experiences, physical health, environment, and more. Generic treatment plans often fall short because they miss what makes your situation distinct.
Our practice is led by Marcus Daniels, a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and the owner of Wayfinder Psychiatry and Wellness. He leads a skilled team of nurse practitioners and a licensed professional counselor — all committed to delivering care that is thoughtful, individualized, and compassionate.
Moreover, we accept many insurance plans, which helps remove one of the most common barriers to seeking mental health care. We want access to quality support to be as straightforward as possible for the communities we serve, including those near Paradise Valley.
Serving Paradise Valley and the Greater Phoenix Area
While our practice is rooted in Gilbert, Arizona, we proudly extend our care to the surrounding communities across the greater Phoenix metro area. Many clients travel from Paradise Valley and nearby neighborhoods to receive holistic, personalized mental health support at Wayfinder Psychiatry and Wellness.
Paradise Valley residents deserve access to high-quality, compassionate psychiatric care — and we are honored to be a trusted resource for those on that journey. Whether you are just beginning to explore your options or have been living with a mood disorder for years, we are here to meet you where you are.
