Re: when is it too late to do start therapy for ADD??

[Anonymous]

I would say that it’s never too late to begin. I’m 25 but I’ve have ADHD my entire life and I’m in and out of my own personal therapy from time to time. I use my therapy time to come to terms with the effect of ADHD on my life and my beliefs/feelings in dealing with it. I’ve found that most of the “practical tips” that the therapist has given me has been of little use because I’ve learned to cope with a lot of my behaviors over the years in my own way. So in my, admittedly brief, experience I’ve found that therapy can help you begin to deal with the emotions of ADHD in a relatively brief amount of time. Hours upon hours of intensive therapy may not be in need at all because the main ingredient for positive growth is in the individual themselves. I would suggest contacting local mental health organizations or your family physician and see what their opinion is.

P.S.

I believe the “tag” system is where you put a variety of words (adhd, age, getting help, etc) that briefly sum up your post. This way the site is more effective for searching. Key words i guess.
