ADHD Psychotherapists in Bangalore

ADHD affects attention, activity and impulse control. It continues into adulthood for many people. A diagnosis comes from a specialist assessment, not from a first therapy session.

Treatments that work for ADHD and other neurodevelopmental conditions include psychosocial and behavioural interventions ¹. For some diagnoses and ages, a doctor may also consider medicine.

Ask a practitioner whether they assess, treat, or both.

Everyone on this page describes their work as psychotherapy. A psychotherapist works through talking with you about your thoughts, feelings and behaviours.

Psychotherapy usually runs longer than counselling and aims for clinical change. It works on patterns that repeat rather than on one current problem.

A psychotherapist trains in psychological treatment rather than in medicine. What that training covers, and which approach a practitioner uses, differ between practitioners. Ask which approach a psychotherapist trained in, and how long they usually work.
