It's broken into three subtypes.

So if you have ADHD...

It's always called ADHD, but you can have the inattentive presentation, you can have the hyperactive presentation, or you can have the combined type, which is kind of like a combination of both.

A huge problem is people sometimes are like, I can't have ADHD because I'm not hyperactive.

Because it's in the name.

Right.

It's too wide, but it's also too narrow.

It focuses so, so, so stringently on just the focus components, and it doesn't...

touch at all on other areas of regulation.

Because I think ADHD at its base, it's a dopamine dysregulation error.

So you have dopamine dysregulation when it comes to attention.

You have dopamine dysregulation when it comes to impulsivity.

You have dopamine dysregulation with sleep, with appetite, with emotions.

All of that is so huge, but we never really touch on it.

With the emotional side of things in particular, if we don't change that with ADHD, this is why people are going to get misdiagnosed with anxiety and depression for a million billion years.

No.

Okay.

Let me tell you why on all of those fronts.

I think about that all the time.

If there was something tangible we could grab onto and check a level of something, that would be amazing.
