Dr. Amen was concerned that a married woman of 43 years old might have ADD. She was having trouble managing household chores and schoolwork. She was disorganized, and often lost her keys or wallet.
She was susceptible to not remembering appointments and losing track of time. She was also depressed with chronic sadness not related to depression, a negative outlook on life and low self-esteem.
Inattentive ADD
People who have inattention ADHD are unable to pay attention to details and are prone to making mistakes. They have a hard time remembering the information they’ve heard, and might forget to finish homework assignments or even a project. They frequently lose wallets, keys, and other items they need to survive. In the end, they often miss appointments or have difficulty keeping track of their bills and messages.
Children who have inattention ADD are not as evident because they don’t exhibit any behavior issues that are obvious. This subtype of ADD is more common for girls than boys. Many teachers are unaware of their symptoms since they don’t conform to the stereotype of a ‘bad kid’.

Overfocused ADD
People with the condition of those suffering from ADD have difficulty shifting their focus, and can become hyper-focused on certain activities.

If a person suffers from hyperfocus ADD and has an anterior cingulate region of their brain is overactive. This can cause hyperfocus and moodiness.

Anxious ADD is one of the “7 kinds of ADD.” This type is distinguished by a severe anxiety and a feeling of nervousness and inattention. It is caused by a dysfunctional brain.

Ring of Fire ADD

They have decreased blood flow to the prefrontal cortex as well as low dopamine levels.
