Having problems with message search?
When I was first diagnoised in my freshman year of college(I know, unusual), I was put into a support group and we were given an awesome workbook w/ ideas on how to manage your ADD/ADHD and/or learning disabilities successfully. The book is MIA and I've looked all over at home for it, but it provided me with a lot of great study ideas especially with note-taking and studying for tests. My experiences w/ counseling for ADHD/ADD have not been helpful much at all, but I'm not saying it's a bad thing....it's difficult when you are a student going into psychology/social work and seeing a counselor I have discovered. You either begin to talk about the field or you meticulously evaluated their skills.....Not necessarly bad, but definately not dealing with the issues. Plus, I have struggled a lot with the limited mental health insurance w/ my parents plan to find a counselor let alone a psychiatrist that is good w/ dealing with ADHD and providing advice and support. Hopefully,
enrolling in my new insurance plan through Field's in the summer or fall(not sure when), I'll have more options!

Bentley asks a very good question...<<What else are we doing besides medication for our ADHD?>>The best of all worlds for ADHD treatment is a multi-modal (or combination) approach. Medication alone doesn't "fix" everything, even though its an excellent start. If you add other aides such as counseling and/or coaching, and education about ADHD in general plus yours in particular, you're going to be in a much better place in every area of your life.Rhonda Pawlan, MS,CRC (Life Coach)
