Although medications for treating adult ADHD have proven to be very successful in reducing symptoms, they can't teach new skills or improve the organizational and interpersonal challenges that usually accompany the disorder. Talk therapy takes many forms, but it always involves talking with a trained therapist. Depending on the specific type of talk therapy, you'll learn about the neurobiological natures of the disorder, stop blaming yourself for your symptoms, and develop new tools and strategies for coping with everyday symptoms of adult ADHD at home, at work, and in social settings.
