What Is ADHD?
ADHD, which stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (or Hyperkinetic Disorder in Danish), is a neurobiological condition characterized by the following core elements:
- Attention Problems: Individuals with ADHD often struggle to maintain focus on tasks and activities. They are easily distracted and have difficulty organizing their thoughts and tasks.
- Impulsivity: People with ADHD tend to act impulsively, making quick decisions without fully considering the consequences.
- Hyperactivity: Another hallmark of ADHD is a persistent sense of restlessness and hyperactivity, which can make it difficult to sit still or control energy levels.
Types of ADHD
It’s important to note that there are different types of ADHD. ADD is actually the same diagnosis as ADHD but without the typical symptoms of hyperactivity. Below is a brief overview of the three main types of ADHD:
- ADD – Primarily Inattentive Type: This form of ADHD is mainly characterized by difficulties with attention and focus, leading to disorganized behavior and trouble completing tasks.
- ADHD – Primarily Hyperactive and Impulsive Type**: Individuals with this type of ADHD have difficulty controlling their impulses, resulting in impulsive actions and challenges with thinking before acting.
- ADHD – Combined Type: This is the most common form of ADHD, involving a combination of attention problems, hyperactivity, and impulsivity.
