People in this category mainly have symptoms of inattentiveness, though they may also have some problems with hyperactivity and impulsiveness. In social situations, an impulsive person might interrupt others to an extreme degree, and be quick to grow impatient, frustrated, or angry.
Impulsivity is also marked by a desire for instant gratification. Impulsivity involves making important decisions and taking action without thinking through the consequences, especially when those actions might be harmful or detrimental and the resulting effects long lasting. In adults, this may take the form of exaggerated restlessness and an activity level that other people find tiring. Hyperactivity includes constant movement and excessive fidgeting and talking. People with this type of ADHD mostly struggle with hyperactivity and impulsiveness, though they may also have some symptoms of inattentiveness. There are three forms - or “presentations” - of ADHD, as referred to in the fifth edition of the DSM (DSM-5), published in 2013. When the revised, fourth edition of the DSM was published in 1994, ADHD was divided into specific subtypes, taking into account the fact that an individual could be diagnosed with ADHD without having symptoms of hyperactivity. The condition was commonly referred to as ADD until 1987, when “hyperactivity” was added to the name in the third edition of the DSM.

While some people still use the terms ADD and ADHD interchangeably, and may call the condition ADD if a child only has trouble focusing and isn't hyperactive, ADHD is officially recognized as the correct term for the diagnosed condition by the current version of the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Attention deficit disorder (ADD) is an older term for what's now known as ADHD.
