Detailed Answer:
Dear
Thanks for contacting Ayurveda with your health concern and following will be recommended guidelines before starting management.
1. Do let me know about the duration of disease diagnosed and Dose of the medicine taken?
2. Any Family History of ADHD (apart from depression)?
3. In Ayurveda ADHD is classified under Vata disrder (which is concerned with hyperactivity) thus medicine will improve concentration and attention but will provide minimal relief in symptoms of disorganisation, forgetfulness (present).
4. Since you have consulted the Physician related with said disorder who have thoroughly arrived on the diagnosis thus keeping in mind the above DIAGNOSIS treatment will be directed towards balancing the imbalance VAAT (since Age is 23 only) but before proceeding further do clear concerns regarding point 1 and 2.
5. Since ADHD is multiple disorder of Vaat thus Brahmi alone will not help in providing the desired results.

Brief Answer:
Over stimulation of any kind must be avoided.
Detailed Answer:
Dear
Thanks for reverting back.
1. Since it is a Vaat disorder and that too of Mind thus excess stimulation of any senses [through stimulants will aggravate the condition] since senses are located at TOP.
2 Initially one has to regularize his sleep pattern, eating pattern and avoid anything which disrupts or excite the senses. [like coffee, refined sugar, diet described earlier] which further weakens the nervous system and increases inattention and hyperactivity.
3. apart from Medicine, in Ayurveda we hold
i. Nose to be the gateway for Head, thus practice Nasya or Neti after consulting an Ayurveda physician there.
ii. practice Mana Shuddhi with shavasana [corpse pose] to rest the nervous system.
PS. since you are studying DON'T over indulge since that will only worse the condition, so with medicine start also SHIRO DHARA.
4. 2 means [2] tablets of sarpagandha and [1] tablet of brahmi vati: Total = 3 tablets to be taken at bed time
5. The said medicine and Lifestyle should be followed for minimum of 3 months
6. vata kulantak ras: 125 mg
XXXXXXX XXXXXXX ras : 125 mg
vacha churan : 1 gm... with honey
7. You may call me at: 0000 or reach my Inbox at: YYYY@YYYY or write to me directly at: bit.ly/drmunishsood
