Internet Delivered CBT for Adults with ADHD

A randomized controlled trial examined the efficacy of internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for adults with ADHD. The study divided participants into three groups: internet-based CBT, internet-based relaxation training, and treatment as usual. Both additional interventions significantly improved ADHD symptoms and other areas such as depressive symptoms and quality of life. Interestingly, improvements were sustained at the one-year follow-up. The findings highlight the potential of online interventions to make ADHD treatment more accessible and effective.
