Overview
Psychotherapy
- ADHD can be treated with several types of psychological interventions.
- Behavioral therapy aims to help a patient change his or her conduct. This type of treatment might involve practical assistance, such as help organizing tasks or completing schoolwork, or working through emotionally difficult events. Behavioral therapy also teaches a person how to: 1) monitor his/her own behavior and 2) give oneself praise or rewards for behaving in a certain desired way.
- Physicians may also recommend family and marital therapy for the parents, siblings, or spouses of ADHD patients. This type of intervention is aimed at helping family members and loved ones find constructive ways to handle disruptive behaviors, to encourage positive behavioral changes, and to improve interactions with the patient.[1]
