Yes, I believe there is ADD without hyperactivity. ADD stands for Attention Deficit Disorder and ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

In fact according to DSM IV there are three subtypes of ADHD.
· The hyperactive/impulsive subtype was labeled ADHD-HI,
· The Predominantly Inattentive subtype was labeled ADHD-PI,
The combined type was referred to as ADHD-C.
ADD is of only one type and that is being inattentive but not being hyperactive. In fact many people use ADD and ADHD-PI interchangeably.
Thanks for this!
