Treating Add
Treatment for ADD includes medication, counseling and education. Medications for attention deficit disorder (ADD) are usually stimulant drugs such as methylphenidate, amphetamine and dextroamphetamine-amphetamine (Adderall XR, Vyvanse). Non-stimulants include atomoxetine and Guanfacine.
Cognitive behavioral therapy may be used in the counseling of adults suffering from ADD. It helps you identify and replace the thoughts that are automatic or irrational with positive ones. Family therapy and marriage counseling can help you deal difficulties in life and improve communication.
Behavioral therapy
Behavioral therapy has been proven to be a successful treatment for many mental conditions. It generally involves working with a therapist in order to determine the causes of problematic behavior and then develop strategies to deal with these. These strategies usually involve replacing a bad behavior with a better one. There are many types of behavioral therapies, including operant training, classical conditioning and Aversion. Other forms of behavior therapy include cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) as well as dialogical behavior therapy(DBT), and the rational emotive behaviour therapy (REBT). Behavioral therapy is often time-limited and focuses on measurable goals to track progress over time.
