StopADHD operates as a specialized ADHD practice led by a physician specializing in ADHD. Our entire practice focuses on ADHD diagnosis and management. Cerebral is a broad mental health platform treating ADHD alongside anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, and other conditions. This means Cerebral providers have less ADHD-specific training and experience.
StopADHD's hybrid model includes a comprehensive 45-60 minute in-person evaluation at our NYC or San Jose offices, followed by virtual medication management. This allows for physical assessment, structured interviews, and clinical observation that video cannot replicate. Cerebral's video-only 30-minute evaluations lack this clinical depth.
Our 3-Phase Assessment uses validated tools: Conners' ADHD Rating Scale, WFIRS (Work and Family Impairment Rating Scale), and structured clinical interview. We screen for comorbidities common in ADHD (anxiety, depression, learning disorders). Cerebral uses standard mental health screening without ADHD-specific rating scales.
Cerebral faced DOJ investigation and SEC scrutiny regarding business practices and compliance. Our Ryan Haight Act compliance and straightforward pricing model provide transparency. StopADHD adults-only (18+) policy and geographic limitations (NY & CA) reflect careful practice management, not rapid scaling concerns.
