Adult ADHD Treatment
Adults who suffer from ADHD often struggle more than children for one reason: the childhood protections that helped them overcome their inattention and impulsivity be socially supervised, despite the mundane necessities of life are no longer in place. Fortunately, behavioral psychotherapy combined with medication can be helpful.
Counseling for adults with ADHD generally includes psychological counseling (psychotherapy). Cognitive behavioral therapy may be a part of the program.
Support Groups
Support groups can be a great source of comfort, as participants find out -- sometimes for the first time in their lives -that they're not isolated. A majority of these groups are run by peer but there are also national organizations that host regional educational and networking events. ADDitude magazine offers a number of virtual peer-support groups to its readers. These include groups for newly diagnosed adults as well as couples who are affected by ADHD as well as intellectually gifted adults, and those seeking work.
Meetings are usually held at a time and location, but online support groups also exist to help people who have scheduling conflicts connect with others across the nation. treating add provides you with a range of virtual options. New groups are formed in the course of helping ADDA members share their unique experiences and needs. Some of these groups are totally free. Others charge a fee to cover the cost of advertising and pay speakers.
