SAC The American Psychiatric Association recognizes three types of ADHD: ADHD Predominantly Hyperactive Impulsive Type, characterized by motor and impulse control problems; ADHD Predominantly Inattentive Type, problems in attention or arousal; and ADHD Combined Type, significant problems in both areas. Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurological condition that affects learning and behavior and occurs in approximately three to ten percent of the population. Characteristics of ADHD may include disinhibition, impaired attention and effort, impulsiveness, hyperactivity, mood swings, low tolerance for frustration, and difficulty falling asleep at night. www.uwm.edu /Dept/DSAD/SAC/ADHD.html

Oarticle.html Children who display multiple hyperactive/impulsive symptoms but few inattentive symptoms are classified as ADHD, Predominantly Hyperactive/Impulsive Type while those who show both sets of symptoms are diagnosed with ADHD Combined Type. Predominantly Inattentive Type is the diagnosis assigned to children who display multiple inattentive symptoms, but few hyperactive/impulsive symptoms. The term ADHD is used to refer to all three subtypes, even the Inattentive type which does not involve hyperactivity. web.indstate.edu /psych/olaugh/Oarticle.html

Disability Services smooths transition There are three classifications under ADHD: ADHD combined type, ADHD predominantly inattentive type and ADHD predominantly hyperactive-impulsive type. Students with the ADHD predominantly hyperactive-impulsive type might be fidgety and restless, she said. ADHD affects learning in a more indirect way, said Denise Person, a disability specialist with the office. www.collegian.psu.edu /archive/2000/04/04-28-00tdc/04-28-00dnews-15.asp

McLean Hospital News & Information : Press Releases Long-believed to be important in motor function and some aspects of attention, the putamen was shown to have diminished blood flow in the children with ADHD. Further, the researchers found, the more objectively hyperactive or inattentive the children were, the greater was their impairment in blood flow to the putamen. However, conversely, for the five ADHD boys who were not objectively hyperactive, Ritalin decreased blood flow in the putamen even further. www.mclean.harvard.edu /PublicAffairs/20000328_adhdnews.htm   (678 words)

Mental Health Initiatives The combined type of ADHD is the most common in elementary school-aged boys; the predominantly inattentive type is found more often in adolescent girls. Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is an illness characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. While there is no specific data on the rates of ADHD in adults, the disorder is sometimes not diagnosed until adolescence or adulthood, and half of the children with ADHD retain symptoms of the disorder throughout their adult lives. www.educ.drake.edu /rc/faqadhd.html   (678 words)

Similarities and Differences Between ADHD Subtypes ADHD, predominantly inattentive type is the diagnosis assigned to children who display multiple inattentive symptoms, but few hyperactive/impulsive symptoms. Children who display multiple hyperactive/impulsive symptoms but few inattentive symptoms are classified as ADHD, predominantly hyperactive/impulsive type while those who show both sets of symptoms are diagnosed with ADHD, combined type. The combined type group is the most common, occurring in 61% of identified cases compared to 30% for the inattentive type and 9% for the hyperactive impulsive type. www.add.org /articles/SimilaritiesandDifferencesBetweenADHDSubtypes.html   (678 words)

A double-blind comparison of desipramine and placebo in children and adolescents with chronic tic disorder and comorbid attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Desipramine significantly reduced core symptoms of ADHD (ADHD Rating Scale; 42% decrease from baseline relative to placebo, P<.001), with equal response in inattentive symptoms and hyperactive/impulsive symptoms (P<.001 for both). CONCLUSIONS: Treatment with desipramine was well tolerated and was associated with robust clinically significant reductions in tic and ADHD symptoms in children and adolescents with chronic tic disorders and ADHD diagnoses. BACKGROUND: Currently, there is no consensus on the best therapeutic approach to chronic tic disorders and comorbid attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). www.pdg.cnb.uam.es /UniPub/iHOP/gp/9214460.html   (293 words)

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This may be due to a lower likelihood of aggressive and antisocial behavior in girls and possibly a higher incidence of the inattentive-type of ADHD among girls. Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (sometimes also referred to as ADD) is a psychiatric diagnosis that identifies hyperactivity, forgetfulness, mood shifts, poor impulse control, and distractibility as symptoms of a neurological disorder. The DSM-III-R diagnosis of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder required hyperactive-impulsive symptoms in addition to the inattentive symptoms. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/ADHD   (10367 words)

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (sometimes also referred to as ADD, an earlier name many feel is still more applicable to many individuals) is a psychiatric diagnosis that identifies characteristics such as hyperactivity, forgetfulness, mood shifts, poor impulse control, and distractibility, when judged to be chronic, as symptoms of a neurological pathology. ADHD is not, under any circumstance a contagious disease, as the disorder is inside a person's mind and not outside of it. Because the etiology of the disorder is unknown, and a complete neurological definition of this disorder is lacking, a majority of clinicians doubt the current predictive power of these objective tests to detect ADHD to be used to direct clinical treatment. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Attention-deficit_hyperactivity_disorder   (9648 words)

MyADHD.com Other researchers have suggested that inattentive ADHD children with SCT may have higher levels of emotional problems, social dysfunction, and withdrawn behavior. For girls there were separate inattentive/sluggish, hyperactive, and impulsive factors.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Based on the type of symptoms that predominate, psychiatrists now diagnose ADHD by its "subtype," as "predominantly inattentive," "predominantly hyperactive," or "combined." Although we do not know from what specific parts of the brain ADHD arises, current hypotheses associate it with abnormalities of connections in the outermost layer at the front of the brain; it may involve faulty regulation of certain brain chemical messenger systems, predominantly those that use dopamine and norepinephrine. M.D. In the United States, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common causes of referrals in family practice, pediatric, neurology, and child psychiatry clinics. www.med.harvard.edu /publications/On_The_Brain/Volume5/Number1/ADD.html   (937 words)

Symptoms and Diagnosis The most common type is the combined subtype in both children and adults, but the inattentive subtype is more common in adults, while the hyperactive/impulsive subtype is more common in children (Millstein et al., 1998). The following table showing the symptom domains for ADHD/HKD in ICD-10 and DSM-IV was taken from Swanson et al. ADHD is usually broken down into three subtypes for clinical diagnosis: dubinserver.colorado.edu /prj/ela/p04.html   (937 words)

William G. Stroop Homepage There are three different subtypes of ADHD: Combined Type, Predominantly Inattentive Type, and Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive Type. Although "ADD" is the common term widely seen in the press and used among professionals, the "official" clinical diagnosis is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD.

ADHD Although disruptive behaviors are usually the reason for referral for treatment, ADHD is often associated with other psychopathologies and impairments.[34] The impulsivity and hyperactivity coupled with inattentiveness to social cues lead to impairments in social skills and peer relationships.[35,36] Severely affected children with limited behavioral control can cause impairments in the parent-child relationship. The male to female ratio ranges from 4:1 for the predominantly hyperactive impulsive type to 2:1 for the predominantly inattentive type.[15] Among older adolescents, the ratio is 1:1.[17] Psychostimulants are the agents of choice for the rapid and effective treatment of hyperactive and impulsive behavior in children with ADHD.[37,38] There has been some controversy concerning the development of tolerance for stimulant effects on symptoms of ADHD or of a need to increase the dose to get the same response.[39] www.burlington-nj.net /District/CST/ADHD.html   (937 words)

Healing-Attention-Deficit These are the predominantly hyperactive-impulsive type (that does not show significant inattention); the predominantly inattentive type (that does not show significant hyperactive-impulsive behavior) sometimes called ADD—an outdated term for this entire disorder; and the combined type (that displays both inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive symptoms). The principal characteristics of ADHD are inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. The impulsive child who acts before thinking may be considered just a "discipline problem," while the child who is passive or sluggish may be viewed as merely unmotivated. attention-deficit-disorder-a.blogspot.com   (937 words)

How Adult ADD Differs From ADD in Children There are three types of ADHD (according to the DSM-IV): the Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive Type, the Predominantly Inattentive Type, and the Combined Type. First of all, the medical community uses the term ADHD (Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), rather than ADD, to indicate the disorder in both children and adults. Even as the physical “hyperactivity” symptoms decrease with age, the more mentally burdening and unproductive “attention-deficit” and impulsive behaviors may continue into adulthood. www.people.virginia.edu /~jjl8b/mdst110/lab3/page_one.html   (937 words)
