To determine your ADHD type, you can take a confidential 4-minute test at TheAddQuiz or the ADD Type Test at Amen University. According to Dr. Daniel G. Amen, there are seven different types of ADHD, each with its own symptoms and treatment options. The seven types of ADHD are:
- Classic ADD
- Inattentive ADD
- Over-focused ADD
- Temporal Lobe ADD
- Limbic ADD
- Ring of Fire ADD (ADD Plus)
- Anxious ADD
The American Psychiatric Association has defined three main types of ADHD in adults: hyperactive and impulsive type ADHD, inattentive type ADHD, and combined type ADHD. The Adult ADHD Spectrum Self Test is another online test that assesses the full spectrum of ADHD traits, including both strengths and challenges. It is important to note that getting a diagnosis and timely support for ADHD can be life-changing, and understanding the specific type of ADHD you have can help you create targeted strategies to overcome the unique challenges you face.
