Adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, also known as ADD, experience problems in work, school and social interactions. There are a variety of treatment options available. The most effective treatment is usually an amalgamation of counseling and medication.

Stimulants reduce symptoms by increasing levels of brain chemicals that regulate mood and behavior. They include methylphenidate, which is sold under the brand name Ritalin and amphetamines, such as lisdexamphetamine that are available under the brand names Adderall and Vyvanse.

Support Groups

A support group is a collection of people who have similar experiences and issues who are willing to support each other. The majority of these groups are run by volunteers and are free to join. A support group may provide information on local services for addiction and mental health issues. Support groups are not a replacement for professional treatment, however they can be a very vital part of recovery.

A good support group will be welcoming new members and help them feel at comfortable by allowing them to introduce themselves. The group should also allow for open-ended questions, which will encourage discussion. Remember that not everyone will be able speak at the same time. It is therefore helpful to make an agenda of topics and set a time limit for each participant to speak.

Some support groups focus on a particular topic such as eating disorders or parenting or eating disorders, while others are open-ended. They are less structured than groups led by licensed professionals, and focus on sharing personal experiences. Support groups are usually run by volunteers and don't have an official leader. However, they may have coordinators who facilitate group meetings and provide other services to the members.

It is important to keep in mind that discussions within a group are confidential. It is important to remind the group members of this fact frequently. Some facilitators and members of the group are required reporters. This means that they have to report to police any information about physical harm, even if discussed in private. This is something to be discussed at the start of the group but can also be repeated on a regular base.

A support group is a wonderful way to connect with others who are facing similar struggles, and it can also help in creating an understanding of community. It can be inspiring to see other people overcome their own struggles. It can provide hope for the future.
