Do You Keep Wondering: “Why Can’t I Just Focus?”
If you feel constantly overwhelmed, disorganized, or like you're always behind despite your best efforts… it may not be a personal flaw. It could be Adult ADHD—a condition that often goes undiagnosed in Nepal.
At Bhatta Psychotherapy, we specialize in non-medication ADHD assessment and therapy for adults. Led by D. Bhatta, a clinical psychologist and PhD scholar focusing on Adult ADHD, our clinic is one of Nepal’s few mental health centers with a dedicated approach to this often-misunderstood condition.
🧠 What Is Adult ADHD?
ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) isn’t just about being hyper or distracted. In adults, it often shows up as:
Chronic procrastination
Trouble focusing, finishing tasks, or following through
Disorganization, forgetfulness, or losing things
Emotional overwhelm or impulsive decisions
A racing mind, restlessness, or low frustration tolerance
For many, these symptoms have been present for years—but misattributed to laziness, anxiety, or “just how I am.”
🚨 Why Adult ADHD Often Goes Undiagnosed in Nepal
In Nepal, ADHD is often seen as a childhood disorder—but research shows that it persists into adulthood for many.
Without diagnosis, it can lead to:
Burnout at work
Strained relationships
Low self-esteem and shame
Misdiagnosis as anxiety or mood disorders
A lifetime of feeling “not good enough”
Now is the time to seek clarity. The sooner you understand what’s happening in your brain, the sooner you can build tools that actually work for you.
📋 ADHD Diagnosis at Bhatta Psychotherapy
At Bhatta Psychotherapy, we provide a structured, evidence-based Adult ADHD assessment process:
Detailed clinical interview exploring life history, struggles, and patterns
ADHD-specific rating scales and diagnostic tools
Screening for overlapping issues like trauma, anxiety, or depression
Clear diagnostic feedback and recommendations
Whether you’re exploring ADHD for the first time or seeking a second opinion, our approach is grounded in science, empathy, and respect.
🛠️ Non-Medication ADHD Therapy Options
Medication is not the only path forward—and for many in Nepal, it’s not available or preferable. At Bhatta Psychotherapy, we focus on non-pharmacological ADHD care, including:
✅ ADHD-Informed CBT
To manage negative self-talk, procrastination, and overwhelm.
✅ Executive Function Coaching
To build focus, time management, planning, and emotional regulation.
✅ Psychoeducation & Support
Understand how ADHD affects your brain—and how to work with it instead of against it.
⚖️ How ADHD Looks Different in Men vs. Women
Many women in Nepal are misdiagnosed or dismissed because their ADHD doesn’t “look hyper.”
Instead, it may show up as emotional sensitivity, perfectionism, or internal chaos.
🔍 Debunking ADHD Myths
No, ADHD isn’t caused by mobile phones. No, it’s not just a lack of discipline.
And no, you’re not making it up.
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition recognized by global psychiatric bodies, including the DSM-5 and ICD-11.
