Adult ADHD Treatment
Adults suffering from ADHD are often more troubled than children for one reason: the childhood safety measures that helped them overcome their inattention and impulsivity to fulfill socially-mandated requirements of daily life no longer exist. Behavioral psychotherapy and medication can help.
Counseling for adults suffering from ADHD typically consists of psychological counseling (psychotherapy). Cognitive behavioral therapy could also be included.
Support Groups
Support groups are a powerful source of comfort when participants find out -- often for the first time that they're not the only ones. A majority of these groups are peer led, but there are also national organizations that organize regional networking and educational 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 and couples with ADHD, intellectually talented adults, and people seeking jobs.
Meetings are typically held at a time and location, but online support groups also exist to help those with scheduling conflicts connect with peers across the country. A quick Google search yields numerous virtual options and new groups are being formed constantly as ADDA readers share their individual needs and life experiences. Some of these groups are completely free. treatment of add in adults charge a fee to cover the costs of advertising and pay speakers.
