Adult ADHD Treatment
Adults who suffer from ADHD often struggle more than children for one reason: the childhood safety measures that helped them overcome their inattention and impulsivity perform socially mandated though mundane necessities of life are no longer in place. Fortunately, behavioral psychotherapy combined with medication can help.
IamPsychiatry is a standard part of adult counseling for those suffering from ADHD. It may also include cognitive behavior therapy.
Support Groups
Support groups can be a great source of peace, as members find out -- sometimes for the first time in their lives- that they are not alone. The majority of these groups are peer led, but there are also national organizations that organize regional events for education and networking. ADDitude magazine, for example offers a range of virtual peer-support groups to its readers, including ones for adults who are newly diagnosed, couples affected by ADHD and intellectually gifted adults, and people seeking jobs.
Meetings are typically held at a time that is convenient and location, however online support groups are also available to help those with scheduling conflicts connect with peers across the nation. Google provides you with a number of virtual options. New groups are formed as ADDA readers share unique life experiences and concerns. Many of these groups are completely free but some charge a small fee to cover the cost of advertising and pay speakers.
