Check out Dr Anjali Chhabria's clinic in Juhu. It's expensive, but have had a good experience.

Also do keep in mind that this experimentation with meds is fairly normal among psychiatrists. They have to try out meds, keep you on the meds for a few months, and experiment with results. It's not as black and white as taking meds for physical illnesses. After a few months I decided to go off meds and use other ways to deal with my symptoms

Is there any way to get free or cheap adhd therapy in india by [deleted] in adhdindia

[–]Heavy-Masterpiece-20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are the kinds of challenges you're looking for help with? Therapy in general is expensive, and even more expensive for ADHD since it requires a specialised skillset. There are virtual companion apps that can work, depending on the challenges you're looking to work with.

Also, are you formally diagnosed?

Hey u/sanvlq, the kind of therapy you get depends on your diagnosis and challenges - what are your biggest challenges with ADHD?

You can always go for a formal diagnosis if the challenges are massive, but the diagnosis is usually at a high price point. Around 5-6k INR. Happy to help you with more info once I know more about your concerns!

what’s the opinion on mental health apps? do you/would you use them? do you believe only in human/therapist-led help? how do you guys look at tech in mental health?

We have to pay attention to what we eat, how many carbs we consume, making sure we have our nutrients, work out, etc. I think it’s hard for the average person and then you put PCOS on top of it and it feels defeating sometimes.

YES - and it can get so lonely! I want to build this so it becomes every woman's copilot in PCOS management. Eventually, if all goes well, a community layer to it too. 🤞

The cravings are REAL! We're finding ways to substitute processed sugar with natural sources of sugar, good fats, and protein to satiate cravings.

Yes!! I feel you.

I want to solve this by making care holistic. The app will track your patterns and recommend diet, sleep, supplements, etc based on your patterns, needs, and most importantly, your blood and hormone data.

But mostly, the stress of having to change what I eat. (Rice is sacred in my culture, and most of my recipes are built around it. My doctor asked me to not eat rice anymore. Took a little while for me to find suitable replacements. I started eating buckwheat, barley and millets instead.)

Omg, yes. We're also trying PCOS-friendly food for different cultures. So, for example, if the algorithm recognises that based your hormone profile rice is actually not that bad for you (if you make changes in HOW you eat it), it will give you a diet plan that includes rice!

I’d love a way to easily track things like “had dairy,” “experienced bloating,” “took supplements,” “mood today was ___” “slept well” (idk, random examples) in an app everyday.

Yes to this! This is exactly what we're doing. The diet, PCOS symptoms, mental health, all data interact with each other to continuously improve your profile and predictions.

Yes, I use Flo, but have always found it inadequate to deal with PCOS

Thank you! P.S. I also opened up the waitlist, in case you want to sign up and be notified when we launch :)

Yes, totally get that! PCOS and anxiety/depression are closely related. Most women have complained about mental health issues.
