You have it backwards. It's ADHD now, not ADD. And it's still around. I got diagnosed at age 30
If you want to know why they have differentiated between inattentive and hyperactive in the type of ADHD. So I'm ADHD predominantly inattentive, which would have just been ADD before. It's ADHD-PI now. Also they changed that in the early 90s...
This. Its all classified as ADHD.
I recently found out I had it. I have a ton of weird quirks. I always knew I had some weird mannerisms (mouthing hypothetical arguments in my head, for example) but I attributed it with my personality. One day, I was wondering why I had so many weird quirks and I looked up symptoms to ADHD and realized I had it. I always thought it was normal to be inside your head 24/7.
Yes diagnosis and treatment have been a real game changer for me. Made a lot of pieces fit ---
