Adult ADHD Treatment
Adults with ADHD are often more troubled than children for one reason: the childhood safeguards that helped them overcome their inattention and impulsivity perform socially mandated though mundane demands of everyday life are no longer in place. Fortunately, behavioral psychotherapy combined with medication can be helpful.
Counseling for adults suffering from ADHD typically includes psychological counseling (psychotherapy). Cognitive behavioral therapy may be a part of the program.

Many of these groups are peer led, but there are also national organizations that organize regional networking and educational events. adhd untreated in adults offers a number of virtual peer-support groups to its readers. These include groups for adults who have been diagnosed with ADHD, couples affected by ADHD as well as intellectually gifted adults, and people seeking work.
