At first glance, chronic fatigue syndrome and attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD) seem like the exact opposites: one causes chronic inactivity, and the other makes you ceaselessly active. Yet these two conditions have much more in common than you may think. In the simplest terms, ADHD can push your mind and body towards an inevitable wall of burnout, and the consequence is fatigue. If you feel you are suffering from both ADHD and possibly chronic fatigue, it\u2019s important to know that you\u2019re not alone, and that help is just a phone call away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three Types of ADHD<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Inattentive<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

People with inattentive ADHD often find themselves making careless mistakes because they have difficulty paying attention, following detailed instructions, and organizing tasks and activities. They tend to have a weak working memory and are easily distracted by external stimuli. This type of ADHD is more commonly diagnosed in adults and girls and was formerly known as ADD. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hyperactive<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Hyperactive ADHD is characterized by symptoms of impulsivity and hyperactivity. People with this type can display signs of inattention, but it\u2019s not as marked as other symptoms. They often find themselves fidgeting, squirming, and struggling to stay seated for extended periods of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combined<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The combined type of ADHD means that your symptoms don\u2019t fall exclusively within the categories of inattentive or hyperactive, but rather are a combination of both. Most people with or without ADHD experience some degree of inattentiveness or impulsiveness, but with ADHD these symptoms are always more severe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chronic Fatigue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fatigue is one of the least talked about symptoms of ADHD, and thus one of the most overlooked. Chronic fatigue is characterized by extreme fatigue that lasts for at least six months and that can\u2019t be fully explained by an underlying medical condition. Understanding the connection between ADHD and fatigue can go a long way when it comes to combating chronic fatigue.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t
