There are not five officially recognized "levels" of ADHD. The diagnostic manual, DMS-5-TR identifies three subtypes of ADHD: Inattentive, Hyperactive-Impulsive, and Combined. Inattentive impact focus and attention, whereas Hyperactive-impulsive is more restless and fidgety.
However, some clinicians and researchers explore other ways of categorizing ADHD, sometimes referred to as "types". These can include variations in symptom presentation or underlying neurological factors. Some believe that other conditions like Dyslexia or Autism is a co-occurrences, however that is not necessarily the case. Having attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is technically a mental health disorder that includes a combination of persistent problems. Again, it normally presents difficulty paying attention, hyperactivity and impulsive behavior. Adult ADHD can lead to unstable relationships, poor work or school performance, low self-esteem, and other problems. Children it can impact learning, and can lead to kids falling behind or hating school.
