Although medication is often thought of as the standard treatment for Adult ADHD, many patients may instead benefit from psychosocial treatments including cognitive behavioural therapy and/or work with an ADHD coach. These alternative treatments play a key role in helping you to understand the best ways to deal with ADHD. Some patients find that combined medication and psychosocial treatments work the best for them when managing symptoms of inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity.Therapy is essential for Adult ADHD, according to Dr. David W. Goodman, as quoted in WebMD. Dr. Goodman is part of the School of Medicine at Johns Hopkins University.
