I need some ADD treatment info in adults. My wife is diagnosed with ADD soon after her labor. I always thought this illness can't occur in adult age but I was wrong. I'd like to help my wife so I'd like to hear some ADD treatment info in adults and how it could be treated. Thanks

It is more likely your wife has what is well known as "baby blues" that usually doesn't last longer than a few months after having a baby, but also it may get some more severe form described as ADD-attention deficit disorder. I experienced baby blues and I know if it is not treated it may turn into more severe form of this disorder. I was on antidepressants for some period of time for having suffer from ADD actually means your wife is anxious and depressed at the first place due to the hormonal changes that provokes mood changes and high sensitivity manifested in psychic and mental I was also recommended to follow some psychosocial treatment which is usually consisted of group or individual treatment, or the therapy may be based on family or coach treatment as well as home organizing schedule. Anyway I know that individual therapy is the best for woman suffering from ADD after labor. This type of therapy might be based on cognitive, behavioral or insight focused therapy.
