    may notice side effects such as loss of

  • Types of ADHD

    Inattentive and distractible type of ADHD, faces
    problem such as difficulty in focusing on the
    things and get distracted easily.
  • Impulsive/hyperactive
  • A person who has Impulsive/hyperactive ADHD can/t
    sits still at a place for a short or longer
    time. In short, he or she seems to always be on
    the move, then that person may be suffering from
    ADHD. Also, the person who has a hyperactive
    ADHD problem, tend to be impulsive all the time.
  • Combined
  • Dont think that if this type is named as
    combines so it is a mixture
  • of both predominantly hyperactive type and
    predominantly inattentive type. This type of
    ADHD founds most commonly in children and adults
    and is characterized by impulsive and
    hyperactive behavior.
