ADHD:
ADHD is an extremely common childhood disorder which can continue through to adulthood. There are three subtypes of ADHD: inattention, hyperactivity/impulsivity and combined hyperactive/impulsive and inattentive (Graham, Seth & Coghill 2007). The term Attention Deficit Disorder or ‘ADD’ is outdated and was previously used to describe inattentiveness.
