What Is The Heck Is Adult ADD Treatment?

treating adults with adhd with ADHD struggle more than kids for one main reason: safeguards from childhood that helped them overcome inattention and impulsivity so that they could fulfill the socially required, but basic necessities of life are no longer available. Behavioral psychotherapy and medications can help.

Psychotherapy is a common part of adult counseling for those suffering from ADHD. It may also include cognitive behavioral therapy.

Support Groups

Support groups can be a significant source of peace, as members find out -- sometimes for the first time in their lives -that they aren't isolated. Many of these groups are peer led but there are also national organizations that organize regional events for education and networking. 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, intellectually talented adults, and those seeking work.

Meetings are generally scheduled at convenient dates and times, however online support groups are available to help those with scheduling conflicts connect with others across the nation. A quick Google search will yield a variety of virtual options and new groups are formed constantly as ADDA readers share their individual requirements and experiences. Many of these groups are completely free however some charge a small fee to cover advertising costs and pay speakers.
