Number of Adult adhd is more in India, according to studies. Online consultation is available and it can be managed.

If required, therapist will refer to psychiatrist. Though curing ADHD through the help of therapy is what I will recommend.

I appreciate that you reached out — managing ADHD after relocating can feel challenging, especially when treatment options differ across countries.
ADHD can be effectively managed in India as well, but the availability of certain medications (like stimulant-based treatments commonly prescribed abroad) can sometimes be limited. That said, psychiatrists here are experienced in both pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches, including non-stimulant medications, behavioral interventions, and skills-based therapies.
It would be best to consult a psychiatrist with specific experience in adult ADHD, who can review your earlier treatment plan, assess your current needs, and suggest safe, locally available options. Many psychiatrists in India now provide online consultations, so you won’t need to interrupt your care.
You can share:
• The exact medication and dosage you were previously prescribed
• Any side effects or benefits you experienced
• Your current symptoms and daily challenges
This will help the doctor plan a treatment strategy suited for you.
You do have support available here, and with the right guidance, your treatment can continue effectively.
Next Steps
• Consult a psychiatrist experienced in adult ADHD — many provide online consultations.
• Share your previous treatment details (medication names, doses, side effects, benefits).
• Get a fresh evaluation to see what options are safe and available in India (both medication and therapy).
• Stay open to a combined approach — sometimes switching to non-stimulant medications, therapy, or structured coaching can work well when stimulant options are limited.
Health Tips
• Track your symptoms daily (focus, motivation, sleep, side effects) to discuss with your doctor.
• Use planners or digital reminders to support time management and reduce overwhelm.
• Break tasks into smaller steps — helps with attention and prevents procrastination.
• Lifestyle strategies matter — regular exercise, good sleep hygiene, and balanced meals can reduce symptom intensity.
• Support network — if possible, involve family or trusted friends so they understand your challenges and can help.
