Expert Solution

There are three different types of ADHD, depending on which symptoms are strongest in the individual:

  1. Predominantly Inattentive: Typically, individuals face difficulty in organising or completing tasks, paying attention to minor details or following instructions or conversations. Individuals falling under this subtype are easily distracted or forget details of daily routines.
  2. Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive: Predominantly hyperactive-inattentive individuals are fidgety and talk incessantly. They experience restlessness and have difficulty sitting still for longer periods. In case of children, they may run, jump or climb constantly. Individuals may also struggle with impulsivity. Impulsive behaviours involve interrupting others frequently, grabbing things from them, or speaking at inappropriate times. Highly impulsive individuals find it hard to wait their turn or listen to directions. Such individuals are prone to having more accidents and injuries than others.
  3. Combined Presentation: Symptoms of the above two types are equally present in the person.
