Nonmedication Treatments for Adult ADHD: Evaluating Impact on Daily Functioning and Well-Being
Oh, my child will grow out of it is a common refrain from parents of children with ADHD. Unfortunately, it is increasingly clear that many children do not grow out of their ADHD. Instead, these children will mature into adults who will experience continued difficulties related to their disorder throughout adulthood. Many of these adults with ADHD will seek treatment to alleviate these difficulties, and while some will find medication to adequately treat their symptoms, for others, adjunctive treatments will also play an essential role in helping them achieve desired results in their daily lives. In Nonmedication Treatments for Adult ADHD: Evaluating Impact on Daily Functioning and Well-Being, Dr. J. Russell Ramsay provides a comprehensive review of the current status of nonmedication interventions available for adults with ADHD. After introducing and reviewing the history and features of ADHD in adults, Dr. Ramsay explores a wide range of treatment options available to clinicians today. Chapter topics include psychosocial treatment, academic support and accommodations for postsecondary students, career counseling and workplace support, relationships and social functioning, neurofeedback and neurocognitive training, and complementary and alternative treatments. Practicing clinicians, clinicians-in-training, and researchers searching for a current summary of the nonmedication treatment options and a map to future research will find this volume to be a tremendous resource.

Cognitive-behavioral therapy for ADHD in medication-treated adults with continued symptoms [An article from: Behaviour Research and Therapy]

Description:
The purpose of the present study was to examine the potential efficacy, patient acceptability, and feasibility of a novel, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for adults with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) who have been stabilized on medications but still show clinically significant symptoms. Thirty-one adults with ADHD and stable psychopharmacology for ADHD were randomized to CBT plus continued psychopharmacology or continued psychopharmacology alone. Assessments included ADHD severity and associated anxiety and depression rated by an independent evaluator (IE) and by self-report. At the outcome assessment, those who were randomized to CBT had lower IE-rated ADHD symptoms (p<.01) and global severity (p<.002), as well as self-reported ADHD symptoms (p<.0001) than those randomized to continued psychopharmacology alone. Those in the CBT group also had lower IE-rated and self-report anxiety (p's<.04), lower IE-rated depression (p<.01), and a trend to have lower self-reported depression (p=.06). CBT continued to show superiority over continued psychopharmacology alone when statistically controlling levels of depression in analyses of core ADHD symptoms. There were significantly more treatment responders among patients who received CBT (56%) compared to those who did not (13%) (p<.02). These data support the hypothesis that CBT for adults with ADHD with residual symptoms is a feasible, acceptable, and potentially efficacious next-step treatment approach, worthy of further testing.

More Attention, Less Deficit: Success Strategies for Adults with ADHD

Posted by admin on November 10, 2011 Comments Off


This is the only book on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) written in a structure that caters to the tendency for adults with ADHD to jump around. This essential guidebook begins by describing how the ADHD brain processes information and how that leads to typical challenges that people with ADHD experience, as well as why certain strategies are effective and others aren’t. This lays the foundation for everything that follows, from getting diagnosed to an overview of the research of how ADHD affects people’s lives. A thorough explanation of standard treatment options-including medication, therapy, and coaching-as well as alternative treatments, helps guide adults with ADHD to get the most from their healthcare providers. From there, the book provides an extensive collection of practical strategies to overcome common struggles in the areas of self-esteem, work, relationships, friendships, parenting, and everyday life. It covers everything from time management to getting organized. Brief, ADHD-friendly articles can stand alone or be read in sequence, making it the perfect book for the busy adult with ADHD who wants rock-solid information that is easily digestible.
