Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a brain disorder marked by an ongoing pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity that interferes with functioning or development. ADHD is a broad term, and the condition can vary from person to person. There are an estimated 6.4 million diagnosed children in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
There are three types of ADHD:
1. Inattentive
Inattentive ADHD is what’s usually meant when someone uses the term ADD. This means a person shows enough symptoms of inattention (or easy distractibility) but isn’t hyperactive or impulsive.
2. Hyperactive/impulsive
This type occurs when a person has symptoms of hyperactivity and impulsivity but not inattention.
3. Combined
Combined ADHD is when a person has symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity.
