6 types of ADHD - Dr. Daniel Amen - brain scans new technology

^ here it is in video. Worth watching I think. I just watched it and don't remember much. Typical eh..

"According to his book and website, Dr. Amen classifies ADHD in one of the following subtypes. All of these subtypes include the primary symptoms of ADHD, persistent short attention span, distractibility, disorganization, procrastination and problems with forethought, judgment and impulse control plus those symptoms listed for the particular type."

Type 1: Classic ADHD
This type of ADHD includes primary symptoms of ADHD plus hyperactivity, restlessness and impulsivity.

Type 2: Inattentive ADHD
This type of ADHD includes primary symptoms of ADHD plus low energy, lack of motivation and being internally preoccupied. He indicates this type is more common in girls and is often not diagnosed until later in life, if it is diagnosed at all.

Type 3: Overfocused ADD
This type of ADHD includes the primary symptoms listed above plus cognitive inflexibility, trouble shifting attention, negative thought processes, worrying, oppositional. This type of ADHD is frequently seen in families where there are problems with addictions or obsesesive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

Type 4: Temporal Lobe ADD
Again, this type includes the primary symptoms of ADHD plus easily angered, anxiety, misinterprets comments, memory problems, dark thoughts, difficulties reading. This type may show up after a history of head injury or can be seen in families with a history of anger and violence or learning disabilities.

Type 5: Limbic ADD
In addition to the primary symptoms of ADHD, this type includes mild depression, negativity, lack of energy, low self-esteem, social problems, difficulty sleeping and poor appetite.

Type 6: Ring of Fire ADD
This type also includes the primary symptoms of ADHD in addition to mood swings, anger issues, oppositional behaviors, racing thoughts, excessive talking and sensitivity to light and sound.

I scored a 5/6 types, only missing the "Classic ADHD" type, with a 9/9 hallmark ADD symptoms on his ADD test.

It's pretty interesting. I'd love to see some more studies done on this.

But this would perfectly describe why medication hasn't really helped me much so far. It could just be the wrong type. Though.. I've already tried a dual SSRI/Atomoxetine/Methylphenidate/Mixed Amphetamine Salts...
