Discover how rTMS is emerging as a promising non-drug treatment option for ADHD in children and adults who cannot tolerate stimulant medicat

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders, affecting an estimated 5–7% of children and 2–5% of adults worldwide. In India, growing awareness has led to increasing diagnosis rates, yet treatment remains challenging. While stimulant medications — methylphenidate and amphetamine salts — are effective for many patients, a significant proportion cannot tolerate them due to side effects including appetite suppression, growth retardation, cardiovascular concerns, sleep disturbance, anxiety, and the stigma associated with controlled substance prescriptions.

ADHD and rTMS — A Non-Drug Option for Children and Adults Who Can’t Tolerate Stimulants — is emerging as a promising alternative approach for individuals seeking safer, non-medication-based treatment options. Dr. Kunal Bahrani is recognized as one of India’s leading rTMS specialists, offering advanced neuromodulation therapies for ADHD and other neurological conditions.

Every child becomes distracted or hyperactive at times. However, if these behaviors persist, occur in various contexts, and interfere with everyday living, it may be worthwhile to seek examination. ADHD symptoms often appear in childhood and should be present in more than one context, such as home and school, affecting learning, relationships, and daily functioning. If you're concerned about your child's behavior, a thorough evaluation by a skilled healthcare professional can help you identify the problem and provide the appropriate support. Early identification and intervention can significantly improve your child's confidence, learning, and overall well-being.

So this week I was a super proud mom that my kid cleaned their room. I tried telling another mom. Well it took some time to convince my kid to clean their room. And thats what brought the difference of families into the conversation. This parent doesn't live in a neurodivergent home. Doesn't need to do the whole double body system for cleaning, isn't dealing with excutive dysfunction, or a high level of distraction. It took a whole team to clean that room, each with our supporting and active roles. It's much simpler in their home. The kid is told to clean the room, the room is cleaned. I felt floored. Calling all neurodivergent parents so we can have real conversations about parenting and our lives.

This isn't fucking fair

I want to write this, I REALLY want to write this it's so interesting and I KNOW what I want to write I know what to do, I know exactly what I want to do and I want to do it

But it feels like two thick bricks are being smashed together in my head some days when I try to, it starts twisting into everything and anything to get me to pay attention to anything else things that I don't even want to do, it feels like I'm fucking drowning when I try, no matter how much I want it some days my brain decides that I'm not gonna be able to do something that I really want to do today

That's not fair

Having ADHD feels like I'm parenting a child in my brain

-"I know it's tough but if you sit down and just get this one more little bit of writing done for me, you can play Minecraft and watch a show when you get home! Doesn't that sound fun? Alright just a bit more!"

-"Yes I know washing the dishes is very boring, but guess what! You can listen to that funny video you really like while you do it, doesn't that sound fun buddy?"

-"You wanna buy a treat? Hey y'know what else would make you super cool tho? if you could save money this time! You're gonna be sooo rich! And there's a really tasty treat you can have when you get home! Wow yes that's it you're so good at saving money! You can have a treat next time, okay?"

-"I know it seems really boring and scary, but let's just go and see how you feel when you get there, okay? We can listen to that song you really like on the way!"

Sometimes the kid in my brain just stops listening and has a tantrum and then I feel like an unsuccessful parent to that child or I get really mad at the child for not doing enough, but sometimes the kid needs an easy fun play day to calm down, sometimes I gotta slowly ease the kid back into an activity that seems daunting

-"You only got a little bit done today? That's okay! At least you tried your best and did something! We'll try again tomorrow!"
