Adult Add Treatments Adults who suffer from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD) have problems at work, at school and in social interactions. There are a variety of treatment options available. The most effective treatment is typically an amalgamation of counseling and medication. Stimulant medication reduces symptoms by increasing brain chemicals that control mood and behavior. They include methylphenidate, sold under the brand name Ritalin and amphetamines, such as lisdexamphetamine, which are available under the brand names Adderall and Vyvanse. Support Groups A support group consists of people who share similar issues and experiences, and are willing to help one another. Most of these groups are run by volunteers and are free to join. A support group can also provide information on local resources for addiction and mental health issues. Support groups aren't a substitute to professional treatment however they can be an important part of the recovery. A supportive group should be welcoming new members and make them feel at ease by allowing them to introduce themselves. The group should also allow for open-ended questions, as this will stimulate discussion. It is important to remember that not everyone in the group can speak at the same time, which is why it is beneficial to have a list of topics to discuss at the meetings and a time limit for each participant's participation. Some support groups are based on a particular topic, such as parenting or eating disorders, while others are open-ended. They are generally more informal than groups that are led by licensed professionals, and focus on discussing personal experiences. Support groups generally don't have a specific leader and are run on volunteer basis, but they might have coordinators who organize the meetings and provide other services for members. It is important to remember that discussions in the group are private. It is important to remind members of this fact frequently. Some facilitators and members of the group are obligated reporters. This means that they have to report to police any information regarding physical harm, even if discussed in private. This topic should be discussed at the start of the group but can also be repeated on a regular basis. A support group is an excellent way to connect with other people who have similar issues, and it can also help in creating a sense of community. Seeing treating add who have overcome their obstacles can be inspiring, and can give people a sense of hope for the future.
