add treatments for adults suffering from ADHD are often more troubled than children, for a reason: the childhood safeguards that helped them overcome their inattention and impulsivity to perform socially mandated though mundane demands of everyday life no longer exist. Behavioral psychotherapy and medication can help.
Psychotherapy is a common part of adult counseling for those suffering from ADHD. Cognitive behavioral therapy could also be included.
Support Groups
Support groups can be a valuable source for comfort as participants find out -- often for the very first time -- that they're not alone. The majority of these groups are peer led but there are also national organizations that organize regional educational and networking events. ADDitude magazine offers a number of peer-support groups online to its readers. These include groups for adults who have been diagnosed with ADHD, couples affected by ADHD and intellectually gifted adults, and those seeking employment.
Meetings are usually held at a time that is convenient and location, but online support groups also exist to help people with scheduling conflicts connect with peers from all over the country. Google provides you with a range of virtual options. New groups are formed as ADDA users share their personal experiences and requirements. A majority of these groups are completely free, but some charge a fee to cover advertising costs and pay speakers.
