Understanding ADHD
Did you know that not everyone who has ADHD experiences symptoms the same way? There are actually three separate forms of ADHD. This means that not all therapy treatments or medications will work the same way for each person. So, what are the different types of ADHD?
ADHD, combined type. This, the most common type of ADHD, is characterized by impulsive and hyperactive behaviors as well as inattention and distractibility.
ADHD, impulsive/hyperactive type. This, the least common type of ADHD, is characterized by impulsive and hyperactive behaviors without inattention and distractibility.
ADHD, inattentive and distractible type. This type of ADHD is characterized predominately by inattention and distractibility without hyperactivity.
It’s important to talk to your doctor and therapy about what type of ADHD you have so that you can be properly treated. If you or your child is struggling with ADHD, we can help.
