Remission)
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
• Within the “Disorders Usually First Diagnosed in Infancy, Childhood, or Adolescence” grouping, then subgrouped by the category of “disruptive or self injurious behavior”
ADHD, Major Diagnostic Features Often will not complete tasks Easily distracted by minor stimuli Work often messy and completed w/o thought Forgetful in day-to-day activities Impulsive (interrupting others, cannot wait

behaviors Mental Retardation or Learning Disability Oppositional behavior (ODD, Conduct D/O) Stereotypic Movement D/O Behavior due to medications Mood or Anxiety D/O
Subtypes of ADHD 314.01 ADHD, Combined Type
Criteria A1 & A2 both met for past 6 months 314.00 ADHD, Inattentive Type
Criteria A1 met, but not A2 314.01 ADHD, Hyperactive-Impulsive Type

Diagnostic Presentation of ADHD Symptoms will vary based on age. More common in males than females. Hyperactivity may manifest as internal feeling of
restlessness for older individuals, versus fidgeting. No test exists to “diagnose” ADHD. Several
instruments measure symptomatology that is associated with ADHD, but only way to diagnose is through clinical impression and observation.
