Why do I have ADHD?

Researchers are still learning about attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and haven’t pinpointed the exact cause. However, they theorize that genetics plays a major role in developing the brain disorder. 

Researchers also believe environmental factors may increase the risk of ADHD, such as premature birth, exposure to lead, or prenatal exposure to nicotine or alcohol. 

People with ADHD have problems with inattention, impulse control, and hyperactivity to the point that it affects everyday life. The symptoms occur because of differences in brain structure and function, affecting the parts of the brain that control decision-making, planning, and behavior.

What are the main types of ADHD?

ADHD symptoms aren’t as cut and dry as once believed. Not everyone with ADHD has a hard time staying still. Some people struggle more with inattention and focus, while others struggle with hyperactivity. 

Given the spectrum of symptoms, health care providers classify ADHD into types based on the most dominant symptoms. Types of ADHD include:

Inattentive type

People with ADHD who have a hard time paying attention, staying organized, and finishing tasks on time are inattentive types. 

Hyperactive/impulsive type

Fidgeting, excessive talking, and difficulty waiting for turns are symptoms of the hyperactive/impulsive type of ADHD. 

Mixed type

People with mixed type exhibit inattentive, hyperactive, and impulsive symptoms. 

ADHD symptoms can change over time, and your type can change.
