Behavior Therapy For Adults With Adhd
Adults who have ADHD appear to benefit more from a type of cognitive behavioral therapy than from support group. In a 12-week study, researchers at Mount Sinai found that those who underwent meta-cognitive therapy that taught organizational, time management, and other behavioral skills showed more improvement in their ADHD symptoms than those who were in a support group type of psychotherapy. Observers and patients also saw improvements in depression and anxious thoughts.
