Dr. Daniel Amen uses SPECT scanning to identify what he describes as the 7 different types of ADHD, and he discusses his differing treatment approaches to each in the above article. His 7 types are: Classic ADD, Inattentive ADD, Over-focused ADD, Temporal Lobe ADD, Limbic ADD, Ring-of-fire ADD, and Anxious ADD.
It's important to note that his "7 types of ADD" aren't all recognized in the DSM-V (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) that psychiatrists use, but I'm posting this for general information for those who want to learn more.
