Adult ADHD Treatment
Adults who suffer from ADHD typically struggle more than children due to one reason: the childhood safeguards that helped them overcome their inattention and impulsivity be socially supervised, despite the mundane demands of everyday life no longer exist. Fortunately, behavioral psychotherapy with medication can aid.
Counseling for adults with ADHD generally includes psychological counseling (psychotherapy). It may also include cognitive behavioral therapy.
Support Groups
Support groups are a powerful source of comfort when participants discover -- sometimes for the very first time -- that they're not on their own. Although add and treatment of these groups are led by peers, there are national organizations that host regional events and networking. ADDitude magazine offers a number of peer-support groups online to its readers. These include groups for adults who have been diagnosed with ADHD, couples affected by ADHD and intellectually gifted adults, and those seeking jobs.
Meetings are usually scheduled at dates and times, however online support groups exist to help those with scheduling conflicts connect with other members from across the country. A quick Google search can provide a wide range of virtual options and new groups are formed all the time as ADDA readers share their individual requirements and experiences. Many of these groups are completely free however some charge a nominal fee to cover the cost of advertising and to pay speakers.
