Tutoring, Mentoring, Coaching and Interpersonal Therapy can help in one’s Treatment Plan for Overcoming ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, and Depression, as well as other mental health disorders.
One can consider a number of options for mental health difficulties. Most frequently, a psychologist, therapist or psychiatrist is considered to be the most viable method of dealing with such disorders as bipolar disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Attention Deficit Disorder, and depression. Also to be considered is the acquiring of skills in self help, as well as searching out mentors, especially for children, regularly scheduled tutoring, and for teenagers and adults, coaching.
Professional coaching can come in the form of Life Coaching, those who work specifically with those with mental health difficulties, or ADHD/ADD Coaches, of which there are many. Coaches are generally certified by a professional organization, and can work in harmony with one’s p-doctors. For some, however who may not feel comfortable with a psychologist or therapist, self-help when used along with coaching is also a viable option to be considered.
Professional coaches provide practical guidance for persons in assisting them to organize, to stay on target with their goals. A coach can be accessible day to day, briefly every day, or they can be scheduled for sessions lasting an hour or more weekly, or both. Coaches are generally less costly than a psychologist.
Like any supportive arrangement, one needs to find a coach who one gets along with and “clicks” with, that is you have to be on the same page with your coach. So, carefully choosing one’s coach is of importance.
Not to be overlooked for children and teens is mentoring and tutoring. The support of a mentor for inner city kids is something that BigBrother has been advocating for decades, and it is of value. Mentors can also be found among teachers and peers, through Big Brother and similar organizations, or through some religious affiliations. Some such organizations offer personal Bible studies and this, in harmony with mentoring that can accompany the sessions, affords some an opportunity to open up and discuss one’s past, if necessary, in a non-judgmental format. Marilyn* had suffered from child abuse, and finding the right mentor made all the difference. Within a few years, she had worked through the past and was able to again concentrate in school, without the need for psychiatric drugs, which had formerly been aggressively used in her treatment. Many have had similar experiences.
Additionally, for many school children, having a personal tutor on after school daily can be of much assistance, as it can provide a stabilizing influence. Many children have made notable progress in their ability to concentrate on their schoolwork with such support.
One can can conclude, that there are options in mental health treatment for both children and adults. Many teens, especially, are helped through simple Interpersonal Therapy (IT), where they have a therapist or psychologist to talk things out with. This has helped many, without the use of medication, to overcome depression and other related problems. Coaching, mentoring and tutoring can be of help for many, as can acquiring skills in lifestyle-change in self-help.
