Adult ADHD Treatment
Adults who suffer from ADHD typically struggle more than children, for a reason: the childhood safeguards that helped them overcome their inattention and impulsivity fulfill socially-mandated requirements of daily life are no longer in place. Fortunately, Suggested Browsing combined with medication can help.
Counseling for adults with ADHD generally includes psychological counseling (psychotherapy). It may also include cognitive behavioral therapy.
Support Groups
Support groups can be a great source of comfort for those who find out -- often for the very first time -- that they're not on their own. Although many of these groups are led by peers, there are national organizations that host regional networking events and educational activities. ADDitude magazine, for example, offers a variety of virtual peer-support groups for its readers, including those for adults who have been diagnosed, couples impacted by ADHD and intellectually gifted adults, and people looking for work.
Meetings are generally scheduled at convenient times and locations, but online support groups exist to help people who have scheduling conflicts connect with others across the nation. A quick Google search yields numerous virtual options, with new groups forming every day as ADDA readers share their unique needs and life experiences. Some of these groups are totally free. Others charge a small amount to cover the costs of advertising and pay speakers.
