Adult ADHD Treatment

Counseling for adults with ADHD generally includes psychological counseling (psychotherapy). Cognitive behavioral therapy could also be included.
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 alone. A majority of these groups are peer led however there are national organizations that sponsor regional events for education and networking. ADDitude magazine offers a number of virtual peer-support group options to its readers. These include groups for newly diagnosed adults as well as couples who are affected by ADHD, intellectually talented adults, and those looking for work.
Meetings are usually scheduled at times and locations, but online support groups exist to help people with scheduling conflicts connect with others across the country. Google will provide you with a variety of virtual options. New groups are formed as ADDA readers share unique life experiences and needs. Many of these groups are completely free but some charge a nominal fee to cover the cost of advertising and to pay speakers.
