They may have trouble remembering what they've heard or forget to finish a project or homework assignment. They frequently lose wallets, keys, and other items they need to live. They are often late to appointments or have difficulty keeping track of messages and bills.

Children with inattentive ADD aren't as obvious because they don't exhibit any behavior issues that are obvious. Children who suffer from this subtype of ADD are more likely to be girls than boys and a lot of teachers don't recognize their symptoms since they don't conform to the stereotype of a "bad child."

Adults with inattentive ADHD often have trouble following instructions at home as well as at work. They tend to procrastinate or skip tasks that require constant mental effort. They may also have trouble following conversations or lectures and can easily be distracted by irrelevant stimuli such as the internet or television.

To determine the cause and determine if treatment is necessary an extensive assessment by a mental health professional or health care professional is recommended. They will take a detailed medical history, conduct a physical exam and discuss your lifestyle to help identify any other issues that could be contributing to your symptoms.

Overfocused ADD

People with people with ADD are not able to shift their focus and instead become hyper-focused on specific activities. They can also be highly organized, which can cause confusion for certain people and cause incorrect diagnosis. These people are often treated by conventional ADHD medications, which increase serotonin and/or dopamine. However, this treatment can actually cause their ADD symptoms worse.

They may feel overwhelmed because they aren't able to clear their minds, leading to depression and anxiety. They are also prone to becoming trapped in negative behaviours and thought patterns that can be difficult to break free from without intervention. Adults with Overfocused ADD have seen positive results from cognitive-behavioral therapies to change negative thought patterns, mindfulness practices which reduce rumination as well as skill training.

When someone suffers from overfocused ADD their brain's anterior cortex gyrus is overactive, which can lead to hyper-focus and moodiness. The stimulant ADD medications can stimulate this part of the brain to a great extent which can cause a rise in symptoms and irritability. This is why a healthy diet and other non-medication therapies have been proven helpful for those suffering from this condition.
