Brief Answer:
You can visit NIMHANS

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for writing through HCM.

I have read your query and understood your concerns.

If the person had ADHD during the childhood, diagnosed before 12 years of age, then there are high chances that it could have continued in adult life. Apart from this, depression at your age has also similar presentation like decrease concentration, indecisiveness, decrease interest etc.

I feel that you need detailed evaluation and interview by a psychiatrist. You can visit a psychiatrist at NIMHANS.

It is not a private institute and there is no need to take appointment just you have inquire about the OPD days for adult psychiatry and you can visit. Go through website of NIMHANS and you shall find all the details.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have further query then I shall be happy to help.

Wish you good health.
