Established in 2004 by a U.S. Senate resolution, ADHD Awareness Month has become a global event observed each October. Its goals are to educate the public about ADHD, reduce stigma, and offer support for individuals who have the disorder—and in some ways, therapy can help with all three. In the spirit of ADHD Awareness Month, now is the perfect time to book an appointment with a therapist.
How Therapy Helps to Treat Individuals and Increase Understanding
If you or your child has been diagnosed with ADHD and you are not that familiar with the condition, therapy can be very useful to your understanding of it, which is why we highly encourage you to book an appointment and meet with one of our therapists at Georgia Family Crisis Solutions.
Therapy can play many roles:
- Learning About ADHD – In order to pursue treatment effectively, it’s essential to understand. Therapy can help teach you about what ADHD is and isn’t as well as help to dispel myths. A deep understanding of how ADHD works equips you to determine, with your therapist, the best ways to manage symptoms and improve your quality of life or that of your child with ADHD.
- Reducing Stigma – Going to therapy for ADHD can help majorly in reducing stigma in your family and social circle. By seeking professional help and being open about doing so, you help to normalize having the condition and show others who don’t yet understand that there is no shame in it.
- Managing the Condition – Working with a therapist is extremely useful for managing ADHD. Even with medication, it can be a challenge to establish good habits and control impulses. Therapy guides individuals in discovering and implementing strategies that help to actually replace negative behaviors with positive ones.
