  • Summary

    There is compelling evidence supporting the use of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to treat depression and anxiety disorders; furthermore, recent evidence supports the use of CBT to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adults as well. High comorbidity among these conditions requires healthcare providers to recognize and treat problems with anxiety and depression in adults with ADHD, or ADHD in adults with anxiety and depression. This chapter reviews relevant research on the comorbidity of internalizing conditions in adults with ADHD and provides three guiding principles for tailoring CBT to treat depression and anxiety disorders in adults with ADHD: comprehensive case conceptualization, addressing therapy-interfering behaviors, and a functional approach to cognitive and behavioral avoidance.
