ADHD Treatment in Jaipur for Children and Adults

Understanding ADHD

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition. It has three presentations: mainly inattentive, mainly hyperactive-impulsive, and combined. Symptoms begin before the age of 12, although in adults they may only have been recognised later.

In adults, hyperactivity often shows up as inner restlessness, while problems with time management, procrastination and forgetfulness become more obvious. ADHD commonly occurs with anxiety, depression, learning disabilities and substance use.

Common signs and symptoms

• Difficulty sustaining attention or finishing tasks
• Careless mistakes and forgetfulness
• Losing things and poor organisation
• Fidgeting, restlessness or difficulty staying seated
• Talking excessively or interrupting others
• Acting without thinking about consequences
• In adults: chronic procrastination, missed deadlines and difficulty managing time

Causes and risk factors

• Strong genetic influence; ADHD often runs in families
• Differences in brain areas that manage attention and self-control
• Premature birth or low birth weight
• Exposure to alcohol or tobacco during pregnancy

When should you see a psychiatrist?

Consider booking an appointment if these difficulties have lasted more than two weeks, keep coming back, or are affecting your work, studies, relationships or daily routine. You do not need to wait until things feel unbearable; early treatment is usually shorter and more effective.

How Dr. Surabhi Mathur makes a diagnosis

Your first consultation is an unhurried conversation about your symptoms, how long they have been present, your medical and family history, sleep, stress and any substance use. Where needed, Dr. Mathur uses standard rating scales and may suggest blood tests to rule out physical causes such as thyroid or vitamin problems. You leave with a clear explanation of what is happening and a treatment plan you have agreed to.

Treatment options

• Detailed assessment

  History from early childhood, rating scales, and input from parents, teachers or partners to confirm ADHD and rule out other causes.

• Parent training and behaviour therapy

  The first step for young children: consistent routines, positive reinforcement and clear expectations.

• CBT and coaching for adults

  Practical strategies for planning, time management and emotional regulation.

• Medication

  Stimulant and non-stimulant medicines are among the most effective treatments in psychiatry for ADHD symptoms, and are monitored carefully.

• School and workplace adjustments

  Simple accommodations that reduce distraction and improve performance.

How long does treatment take?

With the right medication, many people notice better focus within days to weeks. Behavioural strategies take longer but build lasting skills. ADHD is managed over the long term, with regular reviews as needs change.
