Wiki Article

Adult ADHD Treatment

Adults with ADHD have more trouble than children for one main reason: childhood safeguards which helped them overcome inattention and impulsivity so they could perform socially mandated but mundane demands of daily life are no longer available. Fortunately, behavioral psychotherapy with medication can help.

Counseling for adults with ADHD typically includes psychological counseling (psychotherapy). It could also include cognitive behavior therapy.

Support Groups

Support groups can be a significant source of comfort, as participants find out -- sometimes for the first time in their lives -that they're not isolated. Many of these groups are peer led but there are also national organizations that sponsor regional educational and networking events. ADDitude magazine offers a number of peer-support groups online to its readers. These include groups for adults who have been diagnosed with ADHD as well as couples who are affected by ADHD as well as intellectually gifted adults, and those looking for employment.

Meetings are usually held at a convenient time and location, but online support groups also exist to help people with scheduling conflicts connect with peers from all over the country. A quick Google search can provide a wide range of virtual options and new groups are formed every day as ADDA readers share their individual requirements and experiences. A majority of these groups are free however some charge a small fee to cover the cost of advertising and website pay speakers.
