Only, they’re not… because “ADD” is an outdated term that was used to describe someone who struggled to focus but <em>didn’t</em> have hyperactivity.</p></div><div><p>ADHD affects an estimated <a href="https://doi.org/10.1192/bjp.bp.107.048827" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="content-link css-q7lbnd">2.5 percent</a> of adults and <a href="http://doi.org/10.1080/15374416.2017.1417860" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="content-link css-q7lbnd">8.4 percent</a> of children in the United States. According to the <a href="https://www.psychiatry.org/patients-families/adhd/what-is-adhd" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="content-link css-q7lbnd">American Psychiatric Association</a>, it’s one of the most common mental health conditions affecting kids.</p></div><div><p>It’s also often overlooked — especially in women — because people assume the symptoms are the result of hormones, burnout, and being tired or stressed.</p></div><div><h3>A history lesson in the terminology</h3></div><div><p>In May 2013, the American Psychiatric Association published the DSM-5, which included updated criteria for diagnosing someone with ADHD.</p></div><div><p>It wasn’t the first time (or the second) that <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3955126/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="content-link css-q7lbnd">the condition’s name changed</a>. In the DSM-2 from 1968, it was called Hyperkinetic Reaction of Childhood, with an emphasis on high levels of activity and movement.</p></div><div><p>In the DSM-3, published in 1980, the focus shifted to the symptoms of inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity, and the condition was called either Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity or Attention Deficit Disorder without Hyperactivity.</p></div><div><p>The DSM-3-R in 1994 eliminated the diagnosis “ADD without hyperactivity” and introduced the term “ADHD.”</p></div><div><p>And in 1994, the DSM-4 categorized ADHD into three subtypes: “predominantly inattentive,” “predominantly hyperactive-impulsive,” and “combined.” It also included ADHD “not otherwise specified.”</p></div><div><p>The final shift from ADD to ADHD happened in 2013 with the release of the DSM-5. What changed this time?</p></div><div><p>First, the criteria for diagnosing ADHD changed slightly. The APA clarified how and when symptoms can manifest, since ADHD shows up differently in adults and kids (there’s a difference between ADHD in men and in women too).</p></div><div><p>Back in the day, a diagnosis of ADHD required “clinically significant” severity, but now the DSM acknowledges that symptoms are legit if they “reduce the quality” of life at work, school, or home or in social settings.</p></div><div><p>Plus, ADHD can now be diagnosed as mild, moderate, or severe and can even be classified as being in “partial remission” if symptoms are reduced enough.</p></div><span class="css-zya54r"></span></div><div class="css-1avyp1d"><span style="font-size:0;line-height:0"></span><div><h2><div><a class="chartbeat-section" name="types">The three types of ADHD</a></div></h2></div><span style="font-size:0;line-height:0"></span><div><p>ADHD is categorized into <a href="https://greatist.com/health/three-types-adhd" class="content-link css-q7lbnd">three types</a>: predominantly inattentive, predominantly hyperactive-impulsive, and combined.</p></div><div><p>Here’s what those terms mean:</p></div><div><h3>Inattentive</h3></div><div><p>Inattentive ADHD is usually what people mean when they say “ADD.”</p></div><div><p>Someone with this type of ADHD might feel spacey, unable to focus, or generally distracted — but not hyperactive or impulsive. This might be the friend who invites you to go to yoga class and then stands you up.</p></div><div><p>People experiencing symptoms of inattentive ADHD might: </p></div><div><ul><li>becomes easily distracted</li><li>struggle to pay attention to details needed to complete tasks (like school or work assignments)</li><li>ignores someone speaking to them</li><li>has issues following instruction</li><li>seem forgetful, distant in conversations, or disorganized</li><li>have poor time management skills or trouble meeting deadlines or making appointments</li><li>lose track of personal items (keys, phone, etc.)</li><li>not finish what they start</li><li>dislike activities that may take a long time or a lot of effort and focus</li></ul></div><div><h3>Hyperactive-impulsive</h3></div><div><p>This type of ADHD shows up as symptoms of hyperactivity and impulsivity but not as much inattention.</p></div><div><p>People experiencing this type of ADHD tend to be fidgety and constantly moving. They act first and think later. This could be your co-worker who always overshares (hello, TMI!) and seems to be hyped-up on caffeine.</p></div><div><p>People experiencing symptoms of hyperactive-impulsive ADHD might: </p></div><div><ul><li>not consider the consequences of their actions</li><li>have trouble staying seated</li><li>fidgets or moves a lot</li><li>say whatever comes to mind (no filter!)</li><li>interrupts a lot in conversation</li><li>has trouble waiting their turn</li><li>struggle to control their emotions (like crying easily or oversharing)</li><li>always needing to move onto the next task or activity</li></ul></div><div><h3>Combined</h3></div><div><p>Combined ADHD shows up as the trifecta of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity.
