CBT for ADHD

Though medication can help reduce ADHD symptoms, it does not make you good at
planning, prioritizing, breaking tasks down, managing time effectively, or the negative
emotions that arise from poor performance – meaning that, you can continue to be
impaired at work, relationships, home, and self-esteem. Medication can often lose its
effectiveness as well. Hence, it’s important to learn strategies to improve your
performance.
The Focussed Psychological Strategies (FPS) trained GPs at AOA Clinic can deliver Cognitive Behaviour therapy (CBT) to help
you improve these executive function difficulties.
