EDHA concern guide

ADHD

Attention and executive-function difficulties can affect work, study, relationships, routines and self-esteem. Support may focus on understanding patterns, building practical systems and deciding whether formal assessment is needed.

People often seek support when...

  • Difficulty sustaining attention or completing tasks
  • Frequent disorganisation, forgetfulness or time-management problems
  • Impulsivity or restlessness
  • Long-standing difficulties across study, work or relationships

How counselling may help

  • Build practical planning and organisation systems
  • Work with emotional regulation and self-esteem
  • Understand patterns around procrastination and overwhelm
  • Support adjustment after diagnosis or during assessment

When other care may also be appropriate

Formal ADHD diagnosis and medication decisions require appropriately qualified clinicians. If you are seeking diagnostic assessment or medication, choose a professional whose verified scope includes that service.

EDHA is not an emergency service. If there is immediate risk, seek urgent in-person help through local emergency services or the nearest hospital. Government of India Tele-MANAS is available 24x7 at 14416 or 1800-89-14416.
