Not necessarily, there's three types:When I read ADHD Hyperactive, I immediately said, "That is so redundant, ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder, so putting Hyperactive at the end is literally pointless." Lmfao.
- Predominantly Inattentive Presentation: What used to be called ADD.
- Predominantly Hyperactive/Impulsive Presentation: More issues with hyperactivity and impulsive behaviors and emotions, not necessarily inattention.
- Combined Presentation: You show symptoms of both of the previous presentations.
People don't usually think adults and girls and women are hyperactive, so they get diagnosed as ADHD-PI, when really as you grow up, that hyperactivity and impulsivity becomes less outwardly expressed, and more internal.
It typically shows itself as a constantly busy mind, fidgeting/stimming, impulsive emotions, and an inward feeling of always needing to be busy and doing multiple things.
So it's more nuanced and more accurately reflects the data, and reality of the condition.
