Here are few things you need to be aware of if you decide to go on meds:
Practitioners will jump to prescribe you meds because they get a cut from it.
They will also convince you that you need help and maybe evn add other disorders such as anxiety, depression, etc.
Meds have side effects that could make your life worse than just dealing with adhd.
Get a written test, which involves you taking a timed test on few things. Don't rely only on what the practitioner say.
if you take meds, start with small doses, and keep a journal to record your body's response to meds.
The meds can really fuck you up. Be very careful
And one more thing, please don't take medical advice from a stranger over the internet.
Ask for Dr GopuKumar at Bangalore neuro centre at malleshwaram, reasonably priced and as long as you communicate openly you should be golden. Helped in my case. Cheers.
I've been through 4 different psychologists and psychiatrists over the past 9 years. The latest one is definitely helping. I went through Mindfit. They have remote video sessions as well. You dont have to wait till after COVID. The first session is very reasonably priced, and you can buy several sessions in a package that brings down the per session cost to a very reasonable price. Give them a try.
Get an appointment with Nimhans.
