ADHD stands for\u00a0attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. It used to be called ADD (attention-deficit disorder).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ADHD is a\u00a0behavioural disorder\u00a0that makes it hard for someone to sit still, pay attention, and focus on tasks. People with ADHD may also be easily distracted and\/or act without thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ADHD affects millions of children and often lasts into adulthood. Until their own children are diagnosed, many adults don\u2019t realize symptoms they\u2019ve had since childhood may be related to ADHD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three main types of ADHD:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Mostly Impulsive-Hyperactive.<\/strong>&nbsp;People with this type of ADHD usually have symptoms of both impulsivity and hyperactivity. Impulsivity means acting without thinking about the consequences. It also means a desire for immediate rewards. Hyperactivity means difficulty sitting still. A hyperactive person fidgets and moves about constantly. It can also mean the person talks nonstop.<\/li><li><strong>Mostly Inattentive.<\/strong>&nbsp;People with this type of ADHD have trouble paying attention and are easily distracted.<\/li><li><strong>Combined.<\/strong>&nbsp;This is the most common type of ADHD. Symptoms include a combination of impulsivity, hyperactivity, and inattentiveness.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>ADHD is more common in boys than girls. Boys with ADHD are also more likely to have impulsive-hyperactive or the combined type of ADHD, rather than inattentive ADHD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there is no cure for ADHD, treatments can help reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. ADHD treatment often includes\u00a0medicine, lifestyle changes, and\/or behavioural therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other names: ADHD test<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is it used for?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>ADHD screening is used to diagnose ADHD.
