Sam: Right, so it’s quite a confusing condition initially to diagnose.īrandon: Yeah, absolutely. In fact they tend to group them in two or three different categories one being ADHD inattentive type, which is mostly symptoms that fall into the inattentive category ADHD hyperactive type, which are people who have symptoms that mostly fall into the hyperactive category and the impulsive category and ADHD combined type which are people who have symptoms that fall into all of those categories in a large mix of them. People with ADHD have a variety of combinations of these different types of symptoms, so there’s no one set type of ADHD.
The second category would be hyperactive symptoms which would be things like being constantly in motion, having difficulty doing quiet tasks or activities, and the third one would be impulsive tasks, which would be being very impatient, interrupting conversations and having difficulty waiting for things that you want to do. They tend to fall into three categories: the first category would be inattentive symptoms which are things along the lines of not listening when spoken to, having difficulty maintaining focus on a task and becoming bored with a task after only a few minutes.
