- Attention-deficit syndrome (ADS):
|
Equivalent to ADHD, but used to avoid the connotations of "disorder" |
| Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD): |
In 1987, ADD was in effect renamed to ADHD in the DSM-III-R. In it, ADHD was broken down into three subtypes
- predominantly inattentive ADHD
- predominantly hyperactive-impulsive ADHD
- combined type ADHD
|
| Attention deficit disorder (ADD): |
- This term was first introduced in DSM-III, the 1980 edition. It is considered by some to be obsolete, and by others to be a synonym for the predominantly inattentive type of ADHD.
|
| Undifferentiated attention-deficit disorder (UADD): |
This term was first introduced in the DSM-III-R, the 1987 edition. This was a miscellaneous category, and no formal diagnostic criteria were provided. UADD is approximately the predominantly inattentive type of ADHD in the DSM-IV-TR. The DSM-III-R diagnosis of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder required hyperactive-impulsive symptoms in addition to the inattentive symptoms. |
| Hyperkinetic disorders (F90) |
- Is the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD) equivalent to ADHD. The ICD-10 does not include a predominantly inattentive type of ADHD because the editors of Chapter V of the ICD-10 believe the inattentivity syndrome may constitute a distinct disorder.
- Disturbance of activity and attention (F90.0)
- Hyperkinetic conduct disorder (F90.1) is a mixed disorder involving hyperkinetic symptoms along with presence of conduct disorder
- Other hyperkinetic disorders (F90.8)
- Hyperkinetic disorder, unspecified (F90.9)
|
- Hyperkinetic syndrome (HKS):
|
Equivalent to ADHD, but largely obsolete in the United States, still used in some places world wide. |
| Minimal cerebral dysfunction (MCD): |
Equivalent to ADHD, but largely obsolete in the United States, though still commonly used internationally. |
Minimal brain dysfunction or
Minimal brain damage (MBD): |
Similar to ADHD, now obsolete. |
