ADHD-HI stands for which description?

• A. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
• B. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Inattentive Type
• C. Affective Disorder
• D. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Hyperactive/Impulsive Type

Answer: (D)

ADHD-HI designates Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Hyperactive-Impulsive Type. The term itself points to the main features: hyperactivity and impulsivity as the defining symptoms. In this presentation, behaviors like fidgeting, trouble staying seated, excessive running or climbing, blurting out answers, and difficulty waiting turns are prominent, with less emphasis on inattention. Modern classifications describe three presentations of ADHD: predominantly hyperactive-impulsive, predominantly inattentive, and combined. The other options either describe inattentive presentation or refer to a mood (affective) disorder, which isn’t ADHD.
