The combined type of ADHD includes both inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity symptoms, with at least six symptoms present in each category. The other subtypes are predominantly inattentive type, which has six or more symptoms of inattention but less than six symptoms of hyperactivity-impulsivity, and predominantly hyperactive-impulsive type, which has six or more symptoms of hyperactivity-impulsivity but less than six symptoms of inattention. There is no subtype called "predominantly dissociative type."
