Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common yet underdiagnosed neurodevelopmental disorders in the US. Research suggests that more than a million people are undiagnosed and untreated because of constraints such as time and money. Psycare provides free support to both diagnosed and undiagnosed ADHD patients by providing non-pharmaceutical interventions to improve anxiety, concentration, and restlessness. It adds a unique angle to the market by drawing upon traditional wisdoms of several Asian cultures and introduces these ancestral practices to a wider audience.
