Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The subtype that includes both inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity is called the combined subtype of ADHD. This is the most common and well-known subtype of ADHD. The other subtypes are primarily inattentive subtype and hyperactive/impulsive subtype. The term "mixed" is sometimes used informally to describe someone with symptoms of both subtypes. However, officially there is no subtype called the "mixed" subtype of ADHD. The term "multiple" is not used in reference to ADHD subtypes. The term "most severe" is not a subtype of ADHD but may be used to describe individuals with more severe symptoms regardless of subtype.
