Let’s take a look at behavioral modification in treating ADHD In Boca Raton FL. While the reality is that most individuals with ADHD or ADD will need medication, that’s not always enough.  In addition, many people are afraid of medications and prefer to start with therapy. Traditional forms of therapy can go on for years, whereas cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can result in benefits in as little as 12 to 16 fifty-minute sessions.

People with ADHD or ADD have a tougher time in school, work and relationships than other individuals.  Over time they are quicker to assume the negative, and this can magnify symptoms and interfere with problem solving.
