ADHD symptoms: People with adhd have significant trouble staying focused on one topic. They are constantly feeling distracted by external stimuli in their environment as well as other thoughts running through their mind. They take 2-3 times longer than normal to complete tasks. They frequently will have to re-read a page several times in order to fully comprehend and remember what they are reading.

Inattention hyperact: As the name says, two major categories of symptoms are: inattention (problems focusing, paying attention, distractability, forgetfulness) and hyperactivity (unable to sit still, fidgeting). Youth typically has both symptoms, whereas in adults we see more attentional problems but little or no hyperactivity.

ADHD Symptoms: Attention deficit; hyperactivity disorder: short attention span (distractibility, impulsiveness) and being overly active. Taken together, these are some of the contributing factors that make it difficult for a person with add or adhd to learn or attend. See: http://1.Usa.Gov/1b6yo0f. However, when one sees a condition with a prevalence of 10%, you have to wonder if it is just labeling.

ADHD: There are three types of adhd. Combined adhd (most common), inattentive adhd, which is marked by impaired attention and concentration, hyperactive-impulsive adhd, which is marked by hyperactivity without inattentiveness. The symptoms are too extensive to list out here but a good potential source is webmd. To get an actual diagnosis or evaluation, i would see a reputable psychiatrist.
