Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Expert ADHD Treatment in Portland: Personalized Care for Better Living

Understanding ADHD: Signs & Symptoms

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition that affects both children and adults. At Light Side Wellness Co., we specialize in diagnosing and treating ADHD, helping our patients navigate the challenges associated with this condition.

ADHD manifests in three primary subtypes:

  1. Inattentive
  2. Hyperactive-Impulsive
  3. Combined

Each subtype reflects the diverse ways ADHD can present in individuals. While in the past, distinctions were made between ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) and ADHD, we now recognize that individuals often exhibit a mix of both inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive symptoms.

 

Innatentive Type

Inattentive
Symptoms

The inattentive type of ADHD often presents as mental hyperactivity or internal restlessness. These symptoms might not be immediately apparent to others but can significantly impact an individual’s daily functioning.

The hyperactive-impulsive type of ADHD is characterized by physical expressions of restlessness and impulsivity. In adults, this may manifest as significant restlessness or excessive talking.
