https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fBonqCwyjRA<\/div>00:00:11<\/a>What are the different types of ADHD? Did you know that people diagnosed with\u00a0 ADHD often experience the condition quite\u00a0\u00a0 differently from one another? This is\u00a0 because each individual\u2019s condition is\u00a0\u00a0 a little varied\u2026 but also because there\u00a0 are different identified types of ADHD.\u00a0\u00a0 Each type has different symptoms and traits that\u00a0 stand out, impacting life in a range of ways.00:00:38<\/a> In recent years, valuable research has shown that\u00a0 ADHD is much more complex than originally thought.\u00a0\u00a0 If you feel like you\u2019re struggling\u00a0 to process your diagnosis against\u00a0\u00a0 what the average person believes ADHD\u00a0 to be, it\u2019s okay! You\u2019re not alone. The three different types of ADHD\u00a0 are hyperactive-impulsive type,\u00a0\u00a0 inattentive type and combination type, which\u00a0 feature symptoms of the first two types. Let\u2019s take a closer look at each of\u00a0 these types and their related symptoms. Hyperactive-impulsive type ADHD Hyperactive and impulsive type is characterized\u00a0 by impulsive actions and hyperactivity.\u00a0\u00a0 Those diagnosed with this type of ADHD may\u00a0 also display inattention and a lack of focus,\u00a0\u00a0 but hyperactivity and impulsive behavior will\u00a0 be much more prominent in day-to-day activity. Some of the common symptoms of someone with\u00a0 this type of ADHD include constantly feeling\u00a0\u00a0 restless and fidgety, talking a lot and\u00a0 fast, having trouble engaging with quiet\u00a0\u00a0 and relaxing activities, general impatience,\u00a0 and impulse purchasing. Inappropriate comments\u00a0\u00a0 and speaking without considering what you\u00a0 are saying are also symptoms of this type.00:01:59<\/a> These symptoms can make learning tough,\u00a0 particularly in a classroom setting.\u00a0\u00a0 Research has shown that people\u00a0 who identify as male are more\u00a0\u00a0 likely to be diagnosed with this\u00a0 type, particularly younger boys.\u00a0\u00a0 To receive a diagnosis of hyperactive-impulsive\u00a0 type ADHD, a child up to the age of 16 must\u00a0\u00a0 have at least 6 symptoms. If you are 17 or\u00a0 older, you must have at least 5 symptoms.\u00a0\u00a0 These symptoms, in both children and adults,\u00a0 must have been present for at least 6 months. Inattentive type ADHD Inattentive type ADHD is typified\u00a0 more so by symptoms of inattention,\u00a0\u00a0 rather than high energy levels and\u00a0 impulsivity. Usually, someone who\u00a0\u00a0 has been diagnosed with inattentive ADHD will\u00a0 find it more difficult to maintain attention,\u00a0\u00a0 struggle to remain focused and will often\u00a0 have trouble following detailed directions.00:02:58<\/a> As with any type of ADHD, the symptoms of\u00a0 inattentive type will often vary from person to\u00a0\u00a0 person. Do you become bored quickly? Find it hard\u00a0 to follow instructions? Perhaps you are easily\u00a0\u00a0 distracted and at times, struggle to listen? Or\u00a0 maybe someone has said to you in the past that\u00a0\u00a0 you always look like you\u2019re daydreaming. These\u00a0 are all common symptoms of inattentive type ADHD. However, while there are identifiable symptoms,\u00a0\u00a0 it is important to remember that there is no\u00a0 clear-cut divider between the different types.\u00a0\u00a0 That means that even though you may well\u00a0 have been diagnosed with inattentive type,\u00a0\u00a0 you could still experience impulsivity\u00a0 and hyperactivity at times. Interestingly,\u00a0\u00a0 inattentive type ADHD is statistically more\u00a0 common in those who identify as female than male.00:03:49<\/a> In the past, inattentive ADHD was referred\u00a0 to as Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD),\u00a0\u00a0 without reference to hyperactivity. Now, however,\u00a0 inattentive type more accurately comes under the\u00a0\u00a0 umbrella of ADHD. To be diagnosed with\u00a0 this type of ADHD if you are 16 or under,\u00a0\u00a0 you will need to present 6 or more\u00a0 symptoms for at least 6 months.\u00a0\u00a0 If you are 17 or older, you must present at\u00a0 least 5 symptoms, also for 6 months or more. Combined type ADHD Combined type ADHD is exactly what it sounds like.\u00a0 Those diagnosed with this type of ADHD display six\u00a0\u00a0 or more symptoms of inattentive type, and six\u00a0 or more symptoms of hyperactive-impulsive type.\u00a0\u00a0 This means that someone diagnosed with combined\u00a0 type will likely experience hyperactivity and\u00a0\u00a0 impulsivity, while also struggling\u00a0 with inattention and distractibility.\u00a0\u00a0 It may be difficult for them to\u00a0 concentrate in class or at work,\u00a0\u00a0 and they will likely struggle with self-control.00:04:54<\/a> According to the American Psychiatric\u00a0 Association, statistics show that combined\u00a0\u00a0 type ADHD is actually the most common\u00a0 ADHD diagnosis among children and adults. How do I find out which type of ADHD I have? A visit to a mental health professional is\u00a0 the only way to get an accurate diagnosis\u00a0\u00a0 for your condition. They will be able\u00a0 to diagnose you with ADHD if applicable\u00a0\u00a0 and will also be able to determine\u00a0 which type you have. In the end,\u00a0\u00a0 that makes it easier for you to understand your\u00a0 condition and to more effectively treat it. When you visit a mental health professional,\u00a0\u00a0 they will conduct certain tests and provide\u00a0 questionnaires that help to understand your\u00a0\u00a0 condition more clearly. You may also be asked\u00a0 for your history of past medical conditions.\u00a0\u00a0 With this information, your mental health\u00a0 professional can more accurately make a diagnosis. ADHD can be a difficult condition to\u00a0 live with. But no matter the type of\u00a0\u00a0 ADHD you have, there is help available.\u00a0 And remember, always be kind to yourself!
