Considering support for ADHD can bring up many questions, especially regarding the practicalities of cost and logistics. It is essential to have clear information to feel confident in your next steps. This post aims to answer some of the most common questions we hear at ReACH Psychiatry, providing transparent and helpful details to guide you.
This is a primary concern for many. At ReACH Psychiatry, our one-hour therapy sessions are ₹3500/-. While this represents a significant investment, many of our patients feel it offers great value. The practical techniques and personalized attention they receive lead to lasting changes, which they find makes the cost worthwhile. During your initial consultation, we can discuss various treatment options and their associated costs in detail to help you find a plan that fits your budget.
Individual therapy sessions at our clinic are typically one hour long, and psychiatrist consultations for medication management are usually 20 minutes for the first session and 15–20 minutes for follow-ups.
This structure ensures there is enough time to explore your concerns, monitor progress, and adjust treatment if needed. We prioritize making the most of our time together so that you feel heard and leave with valuable insights and tools.
We understand the importance of flexibility. We offer both in-person and online sessions, and all of our ADHD assessments, therapy, and psychiatrist consultations can be conducted online. Online sessions are an excellent option for those with busy schedules, who live far away, or who simply prefer the comfort of their own space. They are held securely via video conferencing to protect your privacy. Both online and in-person sessions at ReACH Psychiatry provide the same standard of high-quality care.
Scheduling an appointment is a straightforward process with several options:
We are committed to making this process as smooth as possible, knowing that taking the first step can be challenging for many.
The ideal frequency of sessions is tailored to your individual needs and goals. At ReACH Psychiatry, we typically recommend a minimum of one session per week, though this can range from 1 to 3 times a week depending on your specific requirements. For psychiatrist consultations, follow-ups are usually needed once every 2–4 weeks in the beginning to monitor progress with medication and make dosage adjustments. Once your treatment is stable, reviews may be spaced to every 2–3 months.
Consistent sessions are crucial for building momentum and developing effective coping strategies. As you make progress, the frequency may be reduced to bi-weekly or monthly to maintain your progress. Many of our patients have appreciated our focus on providing practical techniques, not just conversation, which helps build a strong foundation for managing ADHD.
The duration of treatment is different for everyone, depending on factors like the severity of symptoms, how often a person can attend appointments, and financial considerations.
For medication, some individuals find it helpful for long-term management of their ADHD symptoms, while others may eventually work with their psychiatrist to adjust or discontinue it. This decision is always made collaboratively with your entire care team being involved. This can be based on your response to the medication, any side effects, and your overall well-being. Several of our patients have reported that medication has been very helpful for them.
For therapy, the duration depends on your personal goals and the progress you achieve. While some individuals see significant benefits within a few months, others may continue for a longer period to support personal growth. Our therapists are known for being empathetic and understanding, and many patients have experienced long-term changes with therapy. Our primary objective is to equip you with the tools and strategies needed to manage your ADHD effectively and lead a fulfilling life.
