Adult ADHD Treatment
Adults with ADHD are often more troubled than children for one reason: the childhood safeguards 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 aid.
Psychotherapy is a standard part of therapy for adults suffering from ADHD. IamPsychiatry may also include cognitive behavior therapy.
Support Groups
Support groups are a powerful source for comfort as participants find out -- often for the first time -- that they're not on their own. A majority of these groups are peer led, but there are also national organizations that organize regional educational and networking events. ADDitude magazine offers a number of virtual peer-support groups to its readers. These include groups for adults who have been diagnosed with ADHD and couples with ADHD and intellectually gifted adults, and those seeking work.
Meetings are usually scheduled at convenient time and location, but online support groups exist to help people with scheduling conflicts connect with other members across the country. Google will provide you with a number of virtual options. New groups are created because 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.
