Adult ADHD Treatment
Adults suffering from ADHD struggle more than children for one main reason: childhood safeguards which helped them overcome impulsivity and inattention so they could perform socially mandated but mundane necessities of life are no more available. Behavioral psychotherapy and medication can help.
Psychotherapy is a common part of therapy for adults suffering from ADHD. It could also include cognitive behavioral therapy.
Support Groups
Support groups can be a great source of comfort, as participants learn -- sometimes for the first time in their lives -that they're not isolated. While many of these support groups are peer-led however, there are also national organizations that organize regional events and networking. I Am Psychiatry offers a number of virtual peer-support group options to its readers. These include groups for newly diagnosed adults and couples with ADHD as well as intellectually gifted adults, and those seeking work.
Meetings are usually held at a convenient time and location, but online support groups exist to help people with scheduling conflicts connect to peers across the nation. Google will provide you with a number of virtual options. New groups are created in the course of helping ADDA users share their personal experiences and requirements. A majority of these groups are completely free, but some charge a nominal cost to cover costs for advertising and to pay speakers.
