These are the substances that transmit messages to the brain. This can make it difficult to concentrate and you become easily distracted (attention problems). You may also make thoughtless decisions and act too quickly (impulsivity). In addition, you may be physically overactive or feel restless all the time (hyperactivity). ADHD without hyperactivity used to be called ADD.<\/p>\n<p>There are 3 types of ADHD, namely the predominantly inattentive type, the combined type and the predominantly hyperactive\/impulsive type.<br \/>\nSymptoms can vary from one individual to another. <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_3,1_3,1_3&#8243;
