Actually, it is split. There are three types of ADHD - predominantly hyperactive-impulsive (PH), predominantly inattentive (PI), and combined (C). There is also Sluggish Cognitive Tempo, which seems to be related to ADHD-PI, but there is less research on it. Additionally, people who may seem to have ADHD may in fact have OCD, anxiety, depression, or other disorders. And vice versa. Or they may have a combination of one or more of these with ADHD. |

As someone outside all of this (I've never had to deal with it, so I only have a passing familiarity) it sounds like the term ADHD needs to be removed from use as it's only causing more confusion. The various facets should have their own name.
