People with inattentive ADHD make careless mistakes because they have difficulty sustaining focus, following detailed instructions, and organizing tasks and activities. As for the terminology, "ADHD" is the official name - but depending on your diagnosis, maybe you feel “ADD” suits you better.Inattentive ADHD (once called ADD) is a subtype of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder that often manifests as limited attention span, distractibility, forgetfulness, or procrastination. While ADHD has three distinct subtypes or presentations, people with ADHD can show any number or combination of these symptoms throughout their lifetime. This is the most common presentation of ADHD. Some people with ADHD find that their symptoms reflect a mix from both the inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive types - leading to a diagnosis of combined type ADHD. Cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on changing negative thought patterns, is also widely used and effective. Behavioral therapy, which focuses on changing behavior through rewards and consequences has proven to be helpful for people with ADHD. In addition, therapy and counseling can be useful for treating ADHD. Speak to a healthcare professional if this is something you would like to explore. Treatment for ADHD (and ADD) can vary, but medication is often used to help manage symptoms.
