Digital mental health platform Cerebral has acquired Inflow, which offers a behavioral health app for individuals with ADHD.
Cerebral connects users with licensed mental health clinicians via telehealth for individual and couples therapy and offers medication services. Patients can also obtain a personalized treatment plan with lifestyle recommendations.
Inflow offers a science-based digital therapeutic app for individuals with ADHD that includes programs based on cognitive behavioral therapy principles. The company also offers an in-app community where individuals can connect with each other, daily skill-based modules to manage ADHD day-to-day, and live events with ADHD experts.
Through the acquisition, Cerebral aims to expand continuous care options to its ADHD patients beyond their appointments, including therapy and medication management options. The companies will continue to operate as separate platforms.
"Cerebral shares our vision for delivering evidenced-based support that builds skills and long-term success, and we couldn't be more excited to enter this next chapter in the delivery of continuous care," Levi Epstein, CEO and cofounder of Inflow, said in a statement.
"This partnership allows us to leverage our personalized approach, while benefiting from Cerebral's clinical rigor, proven Resilience Methodology and scale."
THE LARGER TREND
Last year alone, Cerebral made headlines for another acquisition and the announcement by the FTC of a settlement following allegations of deceptive practices.
In August 2025, Cerebral announced it acquired Resilience Lab, which offered an online mental healthcare platform that connects patients with therapists who specialize in depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, OCD and other concerns.
Resilience also offered Resilience Institute, a clinician education platform for providers to improve their skills and stay up to date on best practices in psychotherapeutic treatment. The companies integrated into one platform under the Cerebral brand.
Three months prior to the Resilience acquisition, the Federal Trade Commission announced that more than $5 million in refunds would be sent to consumers as a result of the FTC's settlement with Cerebral pertaining to the company's alleged "deceptive cancellation practices."
The refunds stemmed from a settlement following FTC allegations that Cerebral "required its clients to go through a complex, multi-step and often multi-day process to cancel their subscriptions."
The FTC alleged that Cerebral continued to charge consumers while taking its time to address cancellation requests. The commission also alleged that the company disclosed consumers' sensitive personal health information and other data to third parties for advertising purposes.
Additionally, the FTC claimed that Cerebral violated the Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act by failing to clearly communicate its cancellation policies before charging consumers.
