Fortunately, behavioral psychotherapy with medication can help.
add treatment for adults for adults with ADHD generally includes psychological counseling (psychotherapy). Cognitive behavioral therapy could also be part of the therapy.
Support Groups
Support groups can be a great source of comfort, as members discover -- often for the first time in their livesthat they aren't isolated. Although many of these groups are peer-led, there are national organizations that host regional networking and educational events. ADDitude magazine, for example offers a variety of virtual peer-support groups for its readers, such as ones for adults who have been diagnosed, couples impacted by ADHD, intellectually gifted adults, and people looking for jobs.
Meetings are typically held at convenient dates and times, however online support groups exist to help those with scheduling conflicts connect with other members across the country. Google can provide you with a number of virtual options. New groups are formed because ADDA readers share unique life experiences and requirements. Many of these groups are free, but some charge a nominal fee to cover advertising costs and to pay speakers.
