Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (or ADHD for short) is a common condition that impacts nearly 4.5% of adults. Because it's commonly associated with children, many adults go without seeking adequate care.



ADHD can dramatically hinder an adult's quality of life. It can lead to feelings of depression, an inability to function at work, and it can act as a barrier to fulfilling one's goals.



ADHD therapy and medication can make a huge difference in adults suffering from this condition. It's now more accessible than ever.

Behavioral Therapy for ADHD

Many adults with ADHD don't even know that they have it. They may not realize that there are solutions to the problems that they're facing. They may feel like they're just lazy or not as smart as other people because they can't get as much done.



With behavioral therapy, this can change.



Behavioral therapy is a form of therapy that modifies the patient's conscious behavior. The patient should be able to identify problematic actions and correct them with practice and coping mechanisms.



The patient can learn how to best respond to triggers or upsetting situations that may trigger ADHD behaviors. Through this, they can learn how to adapt to their condition and manage it so that they can function in school or at work.



It can be hard to fit ADHD therapy for adults or children into a busy schedule. For children, it can be difficult to encourage the child to focus or even visit a new place. Online counseling through telehealth services can help to make behavioral therapy accessible to anyone regardless of their ability to travel or their tight schedule. 



Medication Therapy for ADHD

The careful application of medications for ADHD is another valuable option. While not a replacement for counseling or psychotherapy, it can be a helpful addition that can dramatically improve the quality of life for the patient.



Many adults and children shy away from using ADHD medication. The medications are often stimulants that can be addictive or give adverse effects. There are non-stimulant options, though, and stimulants are always given under the watchful eye of a medical professional in safe doses for the patient.



ADHD medications have a very high response rate, making them a good choice for a trial run in any patient. There are several kinds and it's likely that if the patient responds poorly to one of the two primary stimulants ( methylphenidate or amphetamine) they will respond positively to the other. 



Using telehealth psychiatric services to seek medical intervention for ADHD can be a great way to access the help that you need safely, privately, and easily.
