You can have a diagnosis of ADHD mainly inattentive, ADHD mainly hyperactive-impulsive or, if you display inattention and hyperactive-impulsive symptoms, a diagnosis of ADHD combined.
ADHD Treatments:
The three most common treatments for adult ADHD are medications (stimulants and sometimes certain antidepressant) education (learning coping skills etc.) and counseling, such as CBT.
