Treating Add
Treatment for ADD involves counseling, medication 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 can be used in the treatment of adults suffering from ADD. This can help you identify and replace automatic thoughts or irrational ones with positive ones. Family therapy and marriage counseling can also help you improve communication and face the challenges of life.
iampsychiatry is a tried and tested treatment for many mental illnesses. It involves working with a professional to pinpoint problematic behaviors and develop strategies to address the issues. Most often, these strategies change a behavior by replacing it with a healthier version. There are a variety of types of behavioral therapy are available such as operant conditioning, classical conditioning and aversion therapy. Other kinds of behavior therapy include cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and dialogical behavior therapy(DBT) and rational emotive behaviour therapy (REBT).
