OVERVIEW
Every child develops differently, and some need extra support
Neurodevelopmental conditions such as ADHD, autism and learning disorders start in early childhood and affect how a child pays attention, learns, communicates or behaves. They are not caused by poor parenting, and children do not simply “grow out of them”.
With early assessment and the right support, children do much better at school, at home and with friends. ADHD treatment in Mumbai at our clinic always includes the family and, where helpful, the school.
DID YOU KNOW?
ADHD often continues into adulthood. Many adults are only diagnosed when their own child is assessed, and realise that the same struggles with focus and restlessness have followed them for years. The National Institute of Mental Health explains how ADHD can continue across the lifespan.
WHEN TO SEE A CHILD PSYCHIATRIST
Signs parents and teachers often notice
Every child is different. If several of these are seen at home and at school for six months or more, an assessment can help.

Early help makes a real difference
You do not need a school referral or a diagnosis to book. If you are worried about your child’s development, it is better to get an assessment early than to wait and see. Call or WhatsApp us on +91 85911 75508.
CONDITIONS WE TREAT
Neurodevelopmental conditions we treat
ADHD treatment in Mumbai is one part of the care we offer. All of the conditions below are assessed in the same consultation, with your child at ease.
01 · Attention and hyperactivity
ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder)
What it is
ADHD affects attention, activity levels and self-control. Children may be inattentive, hyperactive and impulsive, or mainly inattentive and quietly “daydreamy”.
Signs to look for
Restlessness, distractibility, forgetfulness, careless mistakes, interrupting, and difficulty finishing tasks, seen at home and in school.
How it is treated
Parent training and behaviour strategies, school support, and medicines where appropriate. ADHD treatment in Mumbai at our clinic is reviewed regularly as your child grows.
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
What it is
Autism affects how a child communicates, relates to others and experiences the world. It is a spectrum, so every child with autism is different, with their own strengths.
Signs to look for
Delayed speech, little eye contact, limited pretend play, repetitive movements, fixed interests and strong reactions to sounds or textures.
How it is treated
Early intervention with speech, occupational and behaviour therapy, parent guidance, and medicines for problems like sleep, anxiety or irritability when needed.
02 · Social communication
03 · Learning ability
Intellectual Disability (ID)
What it is
Intellectual disability means slower development of thinking and everyday skills, such as learning, problem-solving, communication and self-care, starting in childhood.
Signs to look for
Late milestones like sitting, walking and talking, difficulty keeping up in school, and needing more help with daily activities than other children.
How it is treated
Assessment of the child’s abilities, guidance on the right school support, skill-building therapies, and treatment of any behaviour or mood difficulties.
Sensory Processing Difficulties (SPD)
What it is
Some children find sounds, touch, clothes, food textures or lights overwhelming, while others seek out strong sensations. This can affect behaviour, eating and sleep.
Signs to look for
Covering ears, refusing certain clothes or foods, meltdowns in busy places, or constantly touching, spinning and crashing into things.
How it is treated
Assessment for related conditions such as autism or ADHD, occupational therapy referral, and practical changes at home and school.
04 · Senses
05 · Reading, writing and maths
Specific Learning Disorder (SLD)
What it is
Specific learning disorders, such as dyslexia (reading), dysgraphia (writing) and dyscalculia (maths), affect a particular skill in children of normal intelligence.
Signs to look for
Reading slowly, reversing letters, poor spelling and handwriting, trouble with numbers, and a gap between how bright the child seems and their marks.
How it is treated
Assessment, remedial education, guidance for the school, and attention to the child’s confidence and any anxiety around studies.
Tourette Syndrome & Tic Disorders
What it is
Tics are sudden, repeated movements or sounds, such as blinking, shrugging or throat clearing. In Tourette syndrome, both motor and vocal tics last for more than a year.
Signs to look for
Repeated blinking, grimacing, jerking movements, sniffing, grunting or words, often worse with stress or excitement.
How it is treated
Explanation and reassurance for the family, behaviour therapy for tics, medicines when tics are severe, and treatment of ADHD or OCD that often comes along.
06 · Tics

FAQS
Questions about ADHD treatment in Mumbai
Still have a question? Call or WhatsApp us. We are happy to help.
At what age can ADHD be diagnosed?
ADHD is usually diagnosed after age six, when school demands make the signs clear, but concerns can be assessed earlier. Teenagers and adults can also be diagnosed.
Are ADHD medicines safe for children?
When prescribed and monitored by a specialist, ADHD medicines are well studied and safe for most children. Dr. Anshu explains the benefits and side effects, and checks height, weight and sleep regularly.
Will my child outgrow ADHD or autism?
Many children learn to manage ADHD well, but it often continues in some form. Autism is lifelong, but early support helps children build skills and independence.
Is it my fault that my child has ADHD or autism?
No. These conditions are linked to how the brain develops, and genes play a big role. Parenting does not cause them, but parents are a very important part of the solution.
How long does an assessment take?
The first consultation usually takes longer than a regular visit. Please bring school reports, any previous assessments, and notes about your child’s milestones.
