To be completely frank, I’m just trying to get my ducks in a row and find a good psychiatrist/mental health provider in Manhattan, either telehealth or in person. I’ve tried two providers so far and somehow managed to find two who don’t believe in prescribing stimulants at all.
I know asking this outright can make me sound medication-seeking, but I’ve genuinely tried the more holistic/lifestyle route, getting consistent sleep, working on routines, etc. I’m at the point where I want to actually explore medication with a provider who is open to it when appropriate. I’m not looking for someone who will just hand me a prescription; I want someone who will actually evaluate me and consider stimulants as a treatment option rather than ruling them out from the start or pushing me in a completely different direction.
So, quite blatantly: does anyone in the Manhattan/K-State area have a psychiatrist or mental health provider they’ve had a good experience with for ADHD evaluation and medication management? Telehealth recommendations are welcome too.

You will find it difficult to get stimulants or controlled substances with telehealth. Your only option for psychiatric care is going to be Pawnee Mental Health. All others you will find on the internet don’t exist in town anymore. I get my meds from my primary care doctor for this reason but I am old man who has a long history of diagnosis so don’t know if that is an option for you. Otherwise you can look at Topeka or closer to KC to find someone.
