Ashay was clearly happy to meet another person with ADHD. Understandable....
And yeah the coach is handling quite well😋
Are bhai main bhi adhd se suffer kar rha hu nimhans se diagnose hua my family also doesn't understand
Thanks for doing this man, in India people like us are called negligent and lazy🙂
I wish I was lazy
It would mean I'd have the choice to be able to focus
@@theblaze5530 more power to you man, I root for you
🥲🥲
Yes i am from India people don't know much about adhd they think that people are just inattentive.
So true!
Yes, @@shaileepatel4700 I was diagnosed in March this year and even I was ignorant until then.
It's hard as it is for the kids in india, let alone for us adults...they dont even have easily accessible resources for full evaluation in case of adults, forget adhd coaching...the medication helps, therapy helps, but nothing beats focussed adhd coaching...i got my diagnosis only last year after having spent the last 12 years with 3 episodes of depression and anxiety...even then i was first diagnosed with OCD, and only two months later did i get my adhd diagnosis..
@@shaileepatel4700 yes that is the case very few psychiatrist or psychologist get the correct diagnosis in first time. Adhd even though very prevalent is often misdiagnosed.
Do you live in Gujarat?
@@dushyantmukadam3176 I think in our country given the state of mental health, in general, comorbidities are also quite overlooked and poorly assessed...yes I live in gujarat..you too?
My partner is Italian but we live in the UK, I tried to talk to his family about the fact that he may have ADHD and they looked at me like I was talking in Chinese and then just started saying he was stupid 🥺
I am sure I have it too... I am going to pyschatrist tomorrow to get myself diagnosed.
I am also a Indian.... It's really hard for Indian people to get psychological help and it's seen as a self afflicted condition
.... The shame... Omg don't get me started on that.... Overall... I am taking a new step to improve my self... Plz pray for me ❤
What happened bro??
@@srijanverma245 so i found a new psychiatrist who is willing to listen to my problems and really understand the situation..... Yes I got diagnosed with predominantly inattentive type ADHD and now I am getting treated for it...... I feel hopeful ✌
Was the psychiatrist convinced or what?
@@srijanverma245 nope..... When I made that comment, I was already seeing a psychiatrist along with a psychologist to sort out my issues..... I had a history with that psychiatrist since I was a preteen... So i thought if I just explained to him that i might have ADHD.... He would understand it and treat my condition.... But it didn't went that way.... He denied my observations/findings and he thought I am being delusional and prescribed me anti-psychotic drugs........ I felt like giving up.... But i tried the psychologist..... He told me to just change my day to day routine and gave me time schedule to follow and he told me to pray 🙏🙇🙌
I was so frustrated and furious that I almost wanted give up.... And just continue on my life
But I don't know why... But I looked up... Where can I find a adult ADHD assessment hospital..... Google showed me NIMHANS as the best result near me... But it's way too far and seemed very expensive
As I was scrolling down the google results... I found a clinic near me (40km) has a psychiatrist from NIMHANS.... I felt hopeful and made an online appointment for VC.
I explained to him that what I have been through so far... He listened to me carefully and told me to visit him in person
I went there with my mom.
We recapped our VC convo
And he made me to fill out some forums and asked me and my mom about my childhood and family history .... Finally he concluded that..... I have ADHD predominantly inattentive type and might have BIPOLAR DISORDER so he started treatment right away. It's been 6weeks I feel much better
What was your age that time??bro I'm 16 and have strict parents I think I have adhd it's really hard for me knowing that I probably have adhd but can't do anything about it did you too face this problem? Did your parents support you when you told them 🤔? Help big brother
Thank you so much for this. Love from India ❤
My teachers would say “ body present mind absent” and I have a resting confusion face which did not go well with teachers that did not treat me as equals with neurotypical kids
@@kanvaarchana remedy?
@@LearnWithNeeraj777 smiling more and opening up about how I felt about someone’s actions/words.
Still figuring out though :)
Thank you Aashay..you validated my experience of growing up in India as an undiagnosed child..i have been labelled lazy, forgetful, even a liability, not reaching her full potential, too sensitive. I remember being bored easily too..focused on unnecessary details. I too had low self-esteem and felt socially awkward. I still am a night owl.
But you have changed my perception on medication..my son has adhd and i am constantly looking for ways to help him..i only learnt that i have adhd after 35 years..i have learnt coping mechanisms over years but that has taken a toll on me
Thank you so much for putting up this video. I am from India but living outside since 24 years. My 17 year old son has ADHD and I research a lot for him so this has been a great help!
I can relate to him. Everything he says is relatable to me.
I am an Indian female I just want to contact ashay to know which doctor he went.
I've read a few answers that he has answered on Quora, if you use Quora, I guess you can reach to him via that app.
@@vaidehiakshekar4007 thanks
Can u please give me the link
@@atharvamahajan200 pardon but which link?
@@vaidehiakshekar4007 link of his Quora answer
I have ADHD. They think I am lazy and pay less attention
I was diagnosed 3 months ago, at age 52. I'm unable to take stimulants so Intuniv it is which helps w my focus.
I'm struggling w getting a routine down, sleep schedule, and strategies to self-evaluate. self-regulate enough to effect significant lasting change and achieve consistent productivity.
That itself only reinforces negative messages I tell myself especially after struggling all my life.
Others don't understand ADHD and rather see it as a moral failing, or as me making excuses. So I signed up for workshop for ADHD self-strategy development help (4) 1 hr sessions over four weeks.
It's very frustrating but at least I have a diagnosis now!
That is the big rub in all of this!!! Being treated w meds and a dozen years of psychotherapy AS IF therapy for anxiety and depression was supposed to be the ONLY answer to help me.
At least I can see that Intiniv helps my focus, from here on it is developing strategies to "manage" myself. 🤔☺
Thank you Ashay and the host 💜🙏
Why god did this to us ? All I ever wanted is to fit in
I thought atomoxetine takes 2-4weeks to be noticeable and its not a stimulant, so it shouldn't feel like the effect is wearing off after certain period of the day. Ashay's does look very hyperactive in the video, I'm not sure if the medication needs to be increased to a higher level. I'm not sure if the right dosage might make him sit still and will make his friends interpret that as a change in personality since they are not used to seeing him sit still and are used to seeing him being hyperactive.
Yes it does take time to work and yes it's not a stimulant. Halfway through the interview I actually forgot that he's not on a stimulant so that's why I ended up taking about them. I'm not sure if I heard correctly what he takes, so I could have misunderstood him. Only he will know what's working for him.
I believe he's saying that he takes 12.5mg Axepta, twice a day (25mg cut in half) by INTAS pharmaceuticals. Depending on people, atomoxetine has a half-life anywhere from 5.2 - 21.6 hours, so maybe he's a fast metabolizer? I'm also taking the same brand he takes (Axepta) and although it helps me all day, the best effect seems to be in the intial 5 - 7 hour period for me. I can still focus after the 5 hours but not as effectively as initial period I take the medication. I'm not sure if this is related to the fact that I'm taking a generic medication or that's just how atomoxetine works.
On the official pamphlet of atomoxetine, it actually tells you to take it b.i.d (two times a day) and that's supposed to be the most effective way of taking the drug. Most physicians in Japan also uses the same guildline (b.i.d) when prescribing atomoxetine, which increases the drug tolerability and effectiveness. Only downside with b.i.d is the potential insomnia so it's not for everyone though. IIRC, there was a study that was comparing morning vs. late evening doses and the study concluded that morning dose was only 4% more effective. So it seems like what time of the day you take don't really matter too much. What matters the most is that you stick to taking the same dose of the drug at the same time each day in order to properly reach steady-state.
@@JohnSmith-vd5ib he is taking atmoxetine , in west it is called strattera..
@@JohnSmith-vd5ib yes ,, everything you say is realatable to me.
@@JohnSmith-vd5ib that's exactly how it works for me too
My doctor definitely checked my health before giving me medication and gave me a 5 mg dose of methylphenidate told me I need to find the right dosage for myself as you can’t give the dosage according to the weight
What happend are you still on medicine ??
Great ,please make more videos about Indian adhd
Unfortunately, Atomoxetine does not work for me. I am trying to get Methylphenidate. There is no Amphetamine(Adderall) in India. I am hoping Methylphenidate will save my career and my life.
Me too bro. But india is a funny country. Here everything illegal is available but govt has banned all the medicines related to neuro issues. Being a biggest exporter of medicine india still biased to its own people.
You won't get schedule x drugs either online or offline.
Take up Yoga n Meditation. Give yourself 2 years and start learning Yoga from a proper place. Nothing works even half as well as self effort. I am taking Methylphenidate right now but it isn't doing much except for a little bit of positivity for a couple of hours.
@@mannuwahal4791 how did u get it in India?
@@ujjwalsingh8975 you can get methylphenidate as methmild or inspiral or addwize or Concerta in india from a Psychiatrist.
@@mannuwahal4791 I found a few threads of people online and it confirmed that Ritalin is available in India at select pharmacies with strict documentation requirements.
Off topic, but how long was the diagnosis process? I'm trying to get diagnosed and get the meds needed before I leave India in 2 weeks. I'm not diagnosed yet but Im sure I Have ADHD and it is ruining my life
In India i went to a psychiatrist for anxiety & depression, told her i might have adhd but she refused to aknowledge it and prescribed only anti depressants, maybe she never came across someone with adhd & did'nt know about the medication.
how can i contact ashay?

Any tips on how to better navigate the steps of getting a diagnosis? Im having a hard time organizing what I need to, for who, and which therapists have time for me and are covered by my insurance. Im sure there will be more struggles and I need some help not getting overwhelmed because I waited for my symptoms to start destroying my life before looking for help
Well, it depends. You mention insurance, are you American? I live in Wales so I don't think the British procedure through the NHS would be anything like the American procedure.
@@ADHDMastery Thanks, I forget the rest of the world doesn't share our sort of twisted system!
Bro I used to think something is wrong with me all the time and I keep telling the same thing to my family everytime and they are like nothing you are making up, go and do your thing and I am like I know all the things but I can't complete anything and lately now i come to know it's from my bloodline and now I am feeling very low about thinking the things happened in my home
I am from North-East India and I need help finding a good psychiatrist
Thanks!

@@ADHDcuts DID YOU GET ANY ADHD TREATMENTS?

ADHD is very rare in India and mostly one is considered slack and lazy for being inattentive.
Its not confirmed to be rare because kids are not tested here even in the cities. Parents and teachers are not aware about ways the kids need assistance. It goes undiagnosed when kids actually do well in school.
I don't think it's rare but the diagnosis is rare or getting medical support is rare🙂....
Mumbai ke alava kisiko nhi pata adhd ke baremai in india
Does the caste system still exist in India?
Yes, mostly in rural
You are going to fail again for sure.
