ADHD & Executive Function
What are the symptoms of ADHD in adults?
Adult ADHD symptoms often include difficulty focusing, disorganization, forgetfulness, impulsivity, restlessness, and problems managing time or completing tasks. These symptoms can impact work, relationships, and daily responsibilities.
How can therapy help manage ADHD in adults?
Therapy for adult ADHD helps individuals improve time management, organizational skills, and impulse control. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is often used to address negative thought patterns and develop coping strategies for managing ADHD symptoms.
Is medication necessary for treating ADHD in adults?
Medication is commonly used to treat ADHD, but it’s not the only option. Many adults benefit from a combination of medication and therapy, while some prefer therapy alone. If medication is considered, we can help refer you to a psychiatrist for a consultation to explore whether it may be a helpful addition to your treatment plan. All treatment plans are tailored to the individual’s needs and preferences.
What can I expect during ADHD counseling sessions?
ADHD counseling focuses on practical skills like time management, organization, and problem-solving, while also addressing emotional challenges related to ADHD. Many individuals with untreated ADHD experience secondary mood-related symptoms, such as frustration, anxiety, or low self-esteem. In therapy, you’ll work with a therapist to develop personalized strategies to manage daily tasks, improve focus, and address any mood-related concerns that may arise from ADHD.
