Treating Add
Treatment of add includes medication, counseling and education. Medications for attention deficit disorder (ADD) are usually stimulant drugs such as methylphenidate, amphetamine and dextroamphetamine-amphetamine (Adderall XR, Vyvanse). Atomoxetine and guanfacine as well as other non-stimulants are available.
Counseling for adults with ADD can include cognitive behavioral therapy, which can help you identify and replace your irrational or automatic thoughts with positive ones. Family therapy and marriage counseling can also help you deal with challenges in your life and improve communication.
Iam Psychiatry is a science-based treatment for many mental illnesses. Typically, it involves working with a therapist to identify problematic behaviors and develop strategies to address these. Most often, these strategies involve changing a behavior by replacing it with a healthier alternative. Several different kinds of behavioral therapy are available that include operant conditioning, classical conditioning and aversion therapy. Other kinds 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 typically time-bound and focuses on goals that can be measured to drive progress over time.
Operant conditioning, for instance is a method of teaching people to connect a stimulus with the specific result. Classical conditioning teaches people, on the contrary, to associate a feeling with a specific action.
