ADHD Therapy: Psychological Interventions and CBT Support

The article analyzes the role of psychological interventions in the treatment of adults with ADHD, emphasizing the synergy between pharmacotherapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). While medications reduce the biological cost of attention and impulse inhibition, CBT serves as an "execution laboratory," teaching practical daily organization, time management, and the construction of structures that support executive functions. The author points to the evidentiary hierarchy of methods, placing ADHD-tailored CBT above coaching or EMDR. A key aspect is the multimodal approach: medications increase the readiness for action, while therapy provides specific behavioral engineering tools, allowing the patient to transfer knowledge to daily life and combat negative self-beliefs.
