What Is ADHD and ADD?
ADHD and ADD share many of the same core symptoms. The primary difference is:
- ADHD often includes hyperactivity and impulsivity
- ADD (inattentive type) primarily involves difficulty with focus and attention
Both can impact multiple areas of life, including school, work, relationships, and daily responsibilities. While ADHD is often lifelong, many individuals learn effective ways to manage symptoms and function successfully.
