Understanding ADHD: Dr Siddhant Bhargava Explains
In his latest ADHD reel, Dr. Siddhant Bhargava breaks down why focus struggles aren’t a discipline issue. He highlights how daily habits shape concentration and emotional balance. He also mentions Alia, who balances a packed schedule using small yet effective habits that help her stay focused, calm and creatively present.
How ADHD really feels
According to Dr. Bhargava, ADHD isn’t just distraction, it's a constant mental sprint.Concentration drops, motivation fluctuates and routines feel harder to maintain. ADHD isn’t a choice, it's the brain moving differently, not incorrectly.
Why lifestyle matters
Dr. Bhargava highlights how ADHD brains crave predictability, because routine reduces mental noiseSleep, hydration and meal timing directly influence energy and concentration. Sudden changes or chaotic routines increase restlessness. It’s not about perfection, just simple, repeatable habits that keep the mind steady and support better focus.
How diet affects ADHD
A stable blood sugar is essential for ADHD minds. Irregular meals or high-sugar foods can worsen restlessness, while balanced plates help the brain stay steady. Eating balanced meals, proteins, fibre and healthy fats helps regulate mood and focus.Diet doesn’t cure ADHD, but it significantly improves daily functioning.
Movement helps the mind
For ADHD, Dr. Bhargava explains that the body influences the brain more than we realise.Physical activity boosts focus chemicals, reduces internal restlessness and improves mood stability. Even short walks, stretching or light workouts help release restlessness and sharpen attention. Regular movement acts like a natural reset for the ADHD brain.
Why ADHD needs routine
Structure turns ADHD challenges into manageable patterns. Dr. Bhargava explains that ADHD minds work best when the day follows a clear routine. Fixed sleep timings, planned meals and simple to-do lists help prevent overwhelm. Predictability reduces anxiety, allowing the ADHD mind to focus better and feel more in control of daily life
When to seek help
Support is a key part of ADHD care. When concentration problems persist or emotional ups and downs feel intense, professional intervention helps identify the right approach. Understanding the condition with professional guidance turns daily struggles into manageable patterns.
Final message
The message is simple: ADHD isn’t a flaw, it's a different wiring. Lifestyle changes, consistent habits and professional guidance create meaningful progress. Dr. Bhargava says real improvement comes when people stop blaming themselves and start supporting their brain’s needs
