Wait so are ADD and ADHD the same thing?
🇳🇱
@realcaseyrollins ADHD is the medical term ADD is the old term no longer used. There are subtypes to make the distinction now. If you are ADHD without hyperactivity you are "ADHD, Inattentive sub-type" but despite the lack of hyperactivity the H is still attached to the name
@realcaseyrollins By the way the ADHD designation for all sutypes has been the case for about 23 years now or so which is when it changed.
@freemo @realcaseyrollins Yeah, when I was first diagnosed it was still ADD/ADHD.
But that was in like 1994.

I was diagnosed about 26 - 23 years ago which was when i recall distinctly asking the doctors about the naming and subtypes. I was a very curious and smart kid.
@freemo @realcaseyrollins I certainly didn't ask those questions as a kid.
