AIIMS Delhi-Trained ADHD Specialist
If you are searching for an ADHD specialist in Delhi, you are likely looking for an accurate diagnosis and structured, evidence-based treatment. Dr Sidharth Sood is a DM-trained Addiction Psychiatrist from AIIMS Delhi, specializing in ADHD, addiction, and disorders of impulse, reward, and control.
ADHD (Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition affecting:
Attention
Difficulty sustaining focus and concentration on tasks
Impulse Control
Difficulty managing impulsive behaviors and reactions
Executive Functioning
Challenges with planning, organization, and time management
Key Point:
ADHD is not laziness or lack of discipline—it is a brain-based disorder involving dopamine dysregulation and executive function impairment.
Adult ADHD is one of the most underdiagnosed conditions in India. Many adults remain undiagnosed and struggle silently.
Clinical Fact:
Adult ADHD is highly treatable once diagnosed. Treatment can lead to improved career performance, relationship quality, and overall life satisfaction.
ADHD significantly increases risk of:
Self-medicating impulsivity and emotional dysregulation
Increased risk of stimulant and opioid abuse
Gaming, gambling, and compulsive behaviors
Why This Happens:
This is due to shared brain pathways involving dopamine and reward processing. The same neural circuits that regulate attention and impulse control are involved in addiction vulnerability. Dr Sidharth Sood's unique dual expertise in both ADHD and addiction allows for comprehensive treatment addressing the underlying brain mechanisms.
Stimulant and non-stimulant medications address dopamine dysregulation and improve attention and impulse control.
