What is Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder?

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that may occur from childhood and continues up to adulthood. People with ADHD often find it difficult to pay attention, concentrate on a single task, sit still and have self-control. ADHD can affect relationships, productivity and performance at school and work, among many other problems.

As it is a challenge to lead a life with ADHD, it is crucial to seek expert help at the earliest. ADHD counselling can work wonders in bringing back order to an ADHD patient’s life.

Holistic Therapeutic Approaches for ADHD

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

Most individuals suffering from ADHD become demoralised due to the years of suffering and struggle. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), a psychological treatment, encourages patients to identify the negative thoughts, beliefs and behaviours that cause problems. Through CBT, individuals are taught to transform their negative thoughts into a positive and realistic view. It also helps address common issues such as work performance, disorganisation, poor time management and others.

Talk Therapy

Talk therapy is also considered to be a highly effective treatment for ADHD. Adults suffering from ADHD face a lot of issues such as failure, job loss, underachievement, failure, relationship conflicts and more. Talk therapy with a counsellor can help individuals deal with the things that weigh in their mind, including shame, embarrassment, low self-esteem and more.
