Hi All......As a parent who has a child that was diagnosed with ADHD at age 7, he also developed an extreme amount of anxiety through the years which brought about many unnatural fears. It was recommended by my sons pychiatrist at the time to enroll my son in cognitive therapy. In conjunction with medication, I found cognative therapy to be extremely helpful for my son as it was just one more intervention that proved to improve the quality of life. My son is now 17 so I can relate to all the questions and concerns new parents have as Ive been there. Below I have provided a link for all to better understand what cognitive therapy is.
