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). Atomoxetine and guanfacine as well as other non-stimulants are available.
Cognitive behavioral therapy may be employed in the treatment of adults suffering from ADD. This helps you recognize and replace the thoughts that are automatic or irrational with positive ones. Family therapy and marriage counseling can also help you improve communication and overcome life's challenges.
Behavioral therapy
Behavioral therapy is a proven treatment for many mental conditions. It generally involves working with a therapist to identify problematic behaviors and develop strategies to address them. Most often, these strategies involve changing a behavior by replacing it with a healthier one. There are a variety of behavioral therapies, such as operant training, classical conditioning, and aversion. Full Post of behavioral therapy include cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) as well as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT). Behavioral therapy usually has limitations on time and focuses on specific goals that assist in achieving progress over time.
Operant conditioning, for instance helps people connect a stimulus to the specific result. Classical conditioning however is a method of teaching people to associate a particular feeling with an action.
