Adult ADHD Treatment
Adults with ADHD have more trouble than children for one main reason: safeguards from childhood that helped them overcome inattention and impulsivity so they could perform socially-required, but routine requirements of everyday life are no longer available. Fortunately, treatment for adhd adults with medication can be helpful.
Counseling for adults suffering from ADHD typically consists of psychological counseling (psychotherapy). It may also include cognitive behavioral therapy.
Support Groups
Support groups can be a significant source of comfort, as members discover -- often for the first time in their lives- that they are not alone. Many of these groups are led by peers however there are national organizations that host regional educational and networking events. ADDitude magazine, for example offers a range of peer-support groups online to its readers, including ones for adults who have been diagnosed, couples affected by ADHD, people with intellectually gifted individuals and those looking for work.
Meetings are typically held at a time and location, but online support groups also exist to help people who have scheduling conflicts connect with peers from all over the nation. Google provides you with a variety of virtual options. New groups are created because ADDA users share their personal experiences and requirements. A majority of these groups are free but some charge a small fee to cover the cost of advertising and to pay speakers.
