Treating Add
Treatment for add involves counseling, medication and education. Medications for attention deficit disorder (ADD) are usually stimulant drugs such as methylphenidate, amphetamine and dextroamphetamine-amphetamine (Adderall XR, Vyvanse). Atomoxetine, Guanfacine, and other non-stimulants are also available.
Cognitive behavioral therapy is employed in the counseling of adults suffering from ADD. This can help you to identify and replace your thoughts that are automatic or unfounded with positive ones. Marital and family therapy can also assist you in dealing with life challenges and improve communication.
Ongoing is a science-based treatment for a variety of mental conditions. It generally involves working with a therapist to identify problematic behaviors and develop strategies to deal with the issues. The majority of the time, these strategies change a behavior by replacing it with a healthier one. There are many types of behavioral therapies, such as operant training, classical conditioning, and aversion. Other forms of behavior therapy include cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) as well as dialogical behavior therapy(DBT), and the rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT). Behavioral therapy is usually time-bound and focuses on goals that can be measured to drive progress over time.
Operant conditioning, as an example helps people connect a stimulus to a specific effect. Classical conditioning on the other hand helps people associate a particular feeling with an action.
