Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common childhood behavioral disorder. Children with ADHD are hyperactive, impulsive and have difficulty focusing on tasks. There are three types of ADHD. One of the types is “inattentive ADHD”, commonly referred to as Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). ADD is characterized by forgetfulness, disorganization and lack of focus.
ADD and ADHD are different diagnoses with various symptoms.
While the two terms are often used interchangeably, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) only recognizes the term ADHD in the latest edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), the authoritative volume that defines and classifies mental disorders. Clinically, there are distinct differences, the most notable being the lack of hyperactivity in those with ADD.
