You come to the comments and see if anyone has a good summary of it yet.
They don't.
But someone did mention another bit of information, which I fell down a wikipedia rabbit hole on for about 2 hours! So maybe now I can read the article
Edit: I did it! I also watched two and a half YouTube videos about homesteading.
This third type describes my wife perfectly. She's had lots of other tentative diagnoses like bpd and autism, but has still been struggling to work through it all, and find an effective combination of medications. She actually takes antipsychotics, as well as a high dose of hydroxyzine as needed in emergencies
I only made it as far as "Unlock all articles by subscribing to this international offer" before I lost interest
Well played.
Don't worry, I skimmed it, didn't retain any of the information tho. So, uhh, I guess we're back to square one.
Wasn't there already research suggesting there is ADHD but without AD, ADHD but without H and also ADHD with both attention deficiancy and hyperactivity? Is this the same theory?
Edit: better to read first and comment after, this is from the article:
In the new study, the first two categories map neatly onto the way ADHD is currently diagnosed, dividing along a well-established line between difficulties with focus and problems with hyperactivity and impulse control.
The third, however, pushes the field into new territory.
This extreme subtype exhibited the most extensive changes across the brain – a total of 45 abnormal areas versus 26 each for the other two subgroups.
The researchers grouped three forms of ADHD identified in the imaging into familiar – and one less familiar – categories: predominantly inattentive; predominantly hyperactive/impulsive; and a more severe, combined presentation marked by emotional dysregulation or difficulty managing and responding to emotions in a controlled, appropriate way.
My childhood difficulties are making ever more sense...
And I'm still struggling with emotions, they're still overwhelming, and I think they've also overwhelmed a lot of the adults present in my childhood.
Do you have that but also like, can't tell what feelings you're feeling most of the time? Or is that just me
Alexithymia?
Either way, maybe? Idk.
