Adult ADD Treatment: The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly

Adult ADHD Treatment

Support Groups

Support groups are a powerful source of comfort for those who find out -- often for the first time that they're not on their own. While many of these groups are led by peer groups but there are also national organizations that sponsor regional networking and educational events. ADDitude magazine, for example offers a variety of peer-support groups online to its readers, such as ones for adults who have recently been diagnosed, couples affected by ADHD and intellectually gifted adults, and people looking for jobs.

Meetings are typically scheduled at time and location, but online support groups are available to help those with scheduling conflicts connect with other members from across the country. Google will provide you with a range of virtual options. New groups are created because ADDA members share their unique experiences and needs. Some of these groups are totally free. Others charge a small amount to cover the costs of advertising and speakers.
