Seven Distinct ADHD Types
- There are seven biologically different types of ADHD, not just three as traditionally thought.
- Different types require different treatments since one size does not fit all.
Classic ADHD Brain Pattern
- Classic ADHD shows reduced activity in the prefrontal cortex, our brain's executive center.
- This area controls focus, impulse, and planning, explaining challenges seen in classic ADHD.

- Over-focused ADHD isn't inability to focus but difficulty shifting attention.
- This type shows increased activity in the anterior cingulate gyrus, the brain's 'gear shifter.'
