Adult ADHD Treatment Adults with ADHD struggle more than children for a reason that is primarily safeguards from childhood that helped them overcome inattention and impulsivity so they could perform socially mandated but mundane requirements of everyday life are no longer offered. Behavioral psychotherapy and medications can help. Counseling for adults suffering from ADHD typically consists of psychological counseling (psychotherapy). It could also include cognitive behavioral therapy. Support Groups Support groups can be a great source of comfort, as participants find out -- sometimes for the first time in their livesthat they're not isolated. A majority of these groups are run by peer but there are also national organizations that host regional events for education and networking. ADDitude magazine offers a number of virtual peer-support groups to its readers. These include groups for adults who have been diagnosed with ADHD as well as couples who are affected by ADHD as well as intellectually gifted adults, and people seeking jobs. Meetings are typically held at a time and location, but online support groups exist to help people with scheduling conflicts connect to peers from around the country. Google will provide you with a range of virtual options. New groups are formed as ADDA users share their personal experiences and requirements. Some of these groups are completely free. Others charge a fee to cover the cost of advertising and pay speakers.
