Talk:ADHD predominantly inattentive

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rather than have a whole other article, let's integrate info into Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. And anyway, "Inattentive ADD" is redundant. Officially, it's actually "ADHD Primarily Inattentive" -- Tim D 02:36, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Sub type not represented in main article and a radically different sub type, not appropriate no put all this info. In main article. Other then being attention problems they have very little in common. -- Chris H

It is completely appropriate to put it in the main article, as it is not a distinct disorder in itself. The main article is lacking info on it, but the topic is best represented there than elsewhere -- Tim D 16:14, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

In the meantime, I'm going to take the liberty to move the article to ADHD predominantly inattentive, which is a more appropriate name. Inattentive ADD is close, but not quite there. -- Tim D 16:28, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

The inattentive subtype is interesting because much less is known about this group then the other two types of ADHD. This is because most clinical studies have and still do focus on the "Combos" and hyperactive-impulsive subgroups. As researchers studied this group more closely they discovered a homogenous sub-sub group which has been called Sluggish Coginitive Tempo for lack of a better name. There is debate if SCT should be considered a different disorder.--Scuro 05:53, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Symptoms of ADHD

You listed one of the symptoms children who have ADHD are likely to exhibit was trouble with household tasks such cleaning or paying bills.

I don't know too many children who pay bills. I think most children would have trouble with that one. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 158.145.169.201 (talk) 01:14, 9 December 2006 (UTC).

Yeah, I don't know how that snuck in there. All that stuff needs some cleaning up, actually. There's too much redundancy. -- Tim D 06:36, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
