Adult ADHD Treatment
Adults with ADHD often struggle more than children, for a reason: the childhood protections that helped them overcome their inattention and impulsivity perform socially mandated though mundane demands of everyday life no longer exist. Behavioral psychotherapy and medication can help.
Counseling for adults with ADHD typically includes psychological counseling (psychotherapy). It could also include cognitive behavioral therapy.
iampsychiatry can be a powerful source of comfort, as members discover -- often for the first time in their lives -that they're not alone. While many of these groups are led by peer groups however, there are also national organizations that host regional networking and educational events. ADDitude magazine, for example offers a range of virtual peer-support groups to its readers, including those for adults who have been diagnosed, couples impacted by ADHD, intellectually gifted adults and individuals looking for jobs.
Meetings are typically scheduled at times and locations, but online support groups exist to help people with scheduling conflicts connect with other members from across the country. Google can provide you with a range of virtual options. New groups are created in the course of helping ADDA readers share unique life experiences and requirements. Many of these groups are free, but some charge a nominal fee to cover advertising costs and pay speakers.
