The types of Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder are:predominantly inattentivepredominantly hyperactive-impulsivecombinedNot sure I understand. People with ADHD are hyperactive because of the H in ADHD. So what's the point of the word hyperactive being in both predominantly hyperactive-impulsive and Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ? Why not just say predominantly impulsive or attention deficit disorder?Edit to justify this question not being a duplicate:I think one of the terms unnecessarily uses the word hyperactive:ADHDpredominantly hyperactive-impulsiveWhy do we use hyperactive twice? Why notADD has 3 types: predominantly inattentive, predominantly hyperactive-impulsive, combinedorADHD has 3 types: predominantly inattentive, predominantly impulsive, combined?
Why ADHD instead of ADD? / Why predominantly hyperactive-impulsive instead of predominantly-impulsive?
