The Predominantly Inattentive Type of ADHD
Overlooked and Undertreated?

Mary V. Solanto, Ph.D.
Director, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Center
The Mount Sinai Medical Center

When Ethan brought home his first fourth grade report card, he knew his parents would not be pleased. In addition to grades that ranged between B and D, the teacher had commented, just as had his third grade teacher, "If Ethan would just focus on his work and try harder he could do so much better!"

Lack of concentration and apparent lack of effort are hallmarks of the Inattentive subtype of ADHD. The Predominantly Inattentive type (IN) of ADHD, without hyperactivity or impulsivity, has been recognized as a disorder since 1994. Unlike children with the better-known "Combined" (CB) (inattentive, hyperactive and impulsive) form of the disorder, children with IN are not behaviorally disruptive and are not typically difficult to manage for parents or teachers. Instead children with IN may instead appear to be underactive, sluggish, or daydreamy. Their problems with attention are just as severe as those with CB-type ADHD, however. When they should be working on an arithmetic problem sheet, they may instead be found gazing into space. When called upon in class, they may have no idea what the discussion is about. Not absorbing new information or producing work as well as their classmates, children with IN may be mislabeled as "slow learners" or "learning disabled," often on the basis of group-administered tests, which they were also not able to concentrate on. Even more often they just quietly underachieve, with no one fully aware of their true potential.

In addition to their academic difficulties, children with IN often have very significant social problems. They may seem to their classmates to be "tuned out," and not "with it." Described sometimes as "space cadets," studies show that children with IN are more likely than other children to be "socially neglected" — that is, to be ignored and friendless.

One recent study suggests that the social problems of children with the IN and CB subtypes of ADHD may have different causes and different results. Children with the CB type tend to annoy other children with their provocative, intrusive, and sometimes aggressive behavior. As a result these children are more likely be socially rejected. When asked directly, however, these children with CB are able to state clearly and accurately how they should and should not behave with other children. In the heat of the moment, however, they are unable to exercise the behavioral self-control to follow through. Children with IN, on the other hand, were more likely to actually be lacking in knowledge of social skills, including how to go about such everyday social interactions as joining a group of children already at play, resolving a dispute, and initiating a friendship. In part, these difficulties may be due to a failure to pay attention to the social nuances, such as the nonverbal cues or "body language," that are an important part of social communication.

A Prevalent and Impairing Condition
Survey studies suggest that the IN form of ADHD may be at least as common in schools as the better-known CB type. In these large-scale studies, hundreds of teachers were each asked to rate all the children in their classes on a checklist of behaviors reflecting the three core symptoms of ADHD: inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity.

The survey data also showed an interesting distribution between the sexes. Whereas the CB type is about 4 times more common among boys than girls, the IN type is more evenly distributed between the sexes with a boy:girl ratio closer to 2:1. In fact, if a girl has ADHD, she is more likely to have the IN type.

In the survey studies teachers were also asked to rate how "impaired" students were in the three most important areas of functioning in school: academic, social, and behavioral. The percentage of children rated by teachers as being "impaired" are shown below for the three currently recognized subtypes of ADHD: IN, CB, and Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive (PI).

IN CB HI
Academic 76% 82% 23%
Social 59% 82% 53%
Behavioral 58% 90% 80%

Source: Gaub, M. & Carlson, C. (1997) Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, 25, 103-111.

These findings showed that a high percentage of children with IN were suffering academic difficulties—in fact, the percentage equaled that for the CB type. Sizeable percentages also had behavioral and social difficulties.

Despite the serious difficulties that children with IN experience, relatively few are identified or referred to treatment. Children with IN account for only 25 percent, at most, of all children with ADHD who are seen at mental health centers. One likely reason is that, since they are quieter and far less disruptive than children with CB, they are less likely to create headaches for teachers or parents, and thus more likely to be overlooked.

Another important finding emerging from the survey studies was that the IN type of ADHD may have a later age of onset than the CB or HI types ADHD. Although all subtypes must have an onset by age 7 in order to meet current DSM-IV criteria for the ADHD, these more recent studies suggest that many cases of IN type may actually not become apparent until age 9, and that impairment may not be significant until age 11.

Assessment
Like all good psychological assessments of children, the assessment for ADHD begins with a an interview with the parents or guardians concerning the details of the child's current difficulties, including time of onset, frequency, duration, and severity. Behavioral questionnaires, completed by parents and teachers, are also very helpful in determining the nature of the child's difficulties and their seriousness when compared to the behavior of other children of the same age and gender in the general population. During this interview, the parents will also be asked about the child's physical, mental, and emotional development from birth right up to the present. A good assessment will also inquire about the development of the family in order to identify any stressors or other problems that may have affected the child's functioning.

The child is interviewed individually in order to get the "child's-eye" view of the challenges, satisfactions, and stressors in his or her life at school, home, and with peers. It also affords an opportunity to informally observe and assess the child's attention, language, self-control, self-confidence, and relational skills.

When there is concern about a child's general learning ability, or specific "information-processing" skills (as is often the case in all types of ADHD), a set of tests may be administered to more precisely examine the child's intellectual functioning, as well as his/her current level of educational achievement in the major subject areas. Neuropsychological tests, which assess brain-based functions in the areas of memory, language, attention, and motor skill, may also help to identify underlying causes of the child's difficulties. Because inattention is the primary symptom of IN and because the tell-tale signs of impulsivity and hyperactivity are absent, a good clinician will take particular care to rule out other "silent" problems, such as anxiety and depression, which can also impair concentration and effort, before diagnosing IN.

Treatment
There has been little study as yet of treatments that are specifically effective for children with the IN type of ADHD. Clinical experience at Mount Sinai's ADHD Center, however, suggests that the stimulant medications that are effective in the treatment of the CB type of ADHD may also be effective for IN. Research is also underway at Mount Sinai, supported by a grant from the National Institutes of Health, to investigate the unique difficulties of children with IN in orienting and focusing, immediate and short-term memory, and in "executive" functions, such as self-stopping, organization, and planning. It is hoped that a better understanding of these differences will lead to development of educational and psychological treatment approaches that address the specific needs of children with IN.

MASTER CLEANSE

About
Before you start the Master Cleanse, you should already be on a balanced diet, like the ones "From Flab to Fab" participants eat during their 12-week plan. In each phase of the Cleanse, there are certain food items that are eliminated. This Cleanse is modified to insure that enough nutrients are being provided to allow you to continue your daily activities (including your exercise regimen).

Ingredients

4 lemons
1 container cayenne pepper
1 small container molasses
single-serving size bottles of water

Preparation

NOTE: It is best to pre-make the mixture and refrigerate it for at least 3 days at a time
To each bottle of water add
1 teaspoon molasses
1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed is best)
1 dash of cayenne pepper
Shake vigorously
Drink at least five bottles of the mixture each day

Day 1

Eat your regular meals
Drink 5 bottles of the mixture throughout the day

Day 2

Eliminate all fats (such as salad dressing) from your diet
Drink 5 bottles of the mixture throughout the day

Day 3

Eliminate fat and fruit from your diet
In protein shakes, add an extra scoop of protein powder
Replace fruit with brown rice and vegetable carbohydrates (potatoes, squase, beans, quinoa) or oatmeal.
Drink 5 bottles of the mixture throughout the day

Day 4

Eliminate fat, fruit and refined carbohydrates (such as white flour and breads) from your diet.
Only eat vegetable carbohydrates and proteins
Drink 5 bottles of the mixture throughout the day

Day 5

Eliminate fat, fruit, refined carbohydrates, dairy products, red meat and chicken from your diet. Eggs and fish are OK to eat.
Drink 5 bottles of the mixture throughout the day

Day 6

Eliminate fat and all protein from your diet
Only eat favorable carbohydrates and fruit
Drink 5 bottles of the mixture throughout the day

Day 7

Re-introduce fat, but only unsaturated fat, such as olives, avocado and peanut butter. Avoid hydrogenated or saturated fat.
Drink 5 bottles of the mixture throughout the day

Day 8

Return to your normal eating plan

LIVER FLUSH

Tip: The cleanses will be easier to do and more effective, if for three days prior, you drink at least three glasses per day of unfiltered apple juice with sediment. Eat lightly -- No heavy, cream sauces or fried foods. Soups, dry toast, fish and lots of fruits and vegetables are good. Drink plenty of water!

Ingredients

4 table spoons Epsom salts
3/4 cup Olive Oil (light olive oil is easier to get down; use only the best cold-pressed virgin oil)
1/4 cup lemon juice, squeezed from fresh lemon (do not use concentrate or store-bought juice - make your own!)
1/2 cup grapefruit juice, squeezed from fresh grapefruit
1/2 teaspoon of Vitamin C powder
Jar with a non-metallic lid

Preparation

Mix 4 heaping teaspoons of Epsom salts in 3 cups of water
Add 1/2 teaspoon of Vitamin C powder
Divide the salt/water/Vitamin C mixture into 4 servings, 3/4 cup each.
Mix 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup squeezed grapefruit juice and 1/4 cup squeezed lemon juice in the jar. Shake briskly, until well mixed (almost watery - only freshly squeezed juice will do this).

Day 1

Take the first serving (1-of-4) of the saltwater mixture
2 hours later, drink the second serving (2-of-4) of the saltwater mixture
1 hour, 45 minutes later, drink the olive oil/juice mixture

Day 2

Wake up early, and upon wakening, take the third serving (3-of-4) of the saltwater mixture
2 hours later, take the fourth (4-of-4) serving of the saltwater mixture AND drink the second serving (2-of-2) of the olive oil/juice mixture.

NOTE: The liver flush will make you need to visit the bathroom frequently. You should lie down between bathroom visits!

CASTOR OIL PACKS

About
Castor oil used to be used internally as a laxative to induce vomiting and diarrhea. It is now recognized as something that is better used externally, due to its potential toxicity.

The castor oil cleanse stimulates the liver, increases lymphatic circulation, improved digestion and promotes "elimination."

Ingredients

3 layers cotton flannel, size large. These are often sold at health food stores under the name "castor oil pack"
Castor oil
Plastic wrap
Hot water bottle
Old sheets (to lie down on)
Water
Baking Soda

Preparation

Soak flannel in castor oil so it absorbs enough oil, but is not so saturated that it is dripping. Allow any excess to drip off.
Place an old sheet on the floor
Lay down on the sheet and place the soaked flannel directly over the left side of your abdomen
Wrap the plastic wrap around your abdomen so it holds the castor oil pack tight to your skin (you might need to wrap it a few times).
While laying flat on your back. Place the hot water bottle on top of the plastic wrap
Allow to sit for 45 minutes
Remove the pack and cleanse the abdomen area with a dilute solution of water and baking soda
Repeat this procedure for three days
You can reuse the same castor oil sheet 25 to 30 times. Store the pack in a covered container in the refrigerator

Safety

Do not ingest castor oil. It can be toxic
Do not apply castor oil to broken skin
Do not do the castor oil pack if you are menstruating, pregnant or breast feeding

You should consult your own physician before trying any cleanse routine, or drastically altering your diet in any way.

I imagine that you have already guessed that he killed himself. . . . On Sunday evening he went into the Auvers countryside, left his easel against a haystack and went behind the Château and shot himself with a revolver. From the violence of the impact (the bullet passed under the heart) he fell, but he got up and fell again three times and then returned to the inn where he lived (Ravoux, place de la Mairie) without saying anything to anyone about his injury. Finally, Monday evening he expired, smoking [the] pipe he had not wanted to put down, and explaining that his suicide was absolutely calculated and lucid. Characteristically enough, I was told that he frankly stated his desire to die--"Then it has to be done over again"--when Dr. Gachet told him that he still hoped to save him; but, alas, it was no longer possible.

Scorpio & Sagittarius

If a Scorpio and a Sagittarius want to make a love match, they should be warned to slow down, take their time getting to know one another on a deep, significant level or else they run the risk of getting way ahead of themselves. This relationship could be over before either partner even realizes it's started if they're not careful! Their patience will be very richly rewarded. Sagittarius thrives on change, on the new and the exciting and on the power of positive thought. Scorpio just wants to get closer and strengthen emotional ties. Early in the relationship, Sagittarius could feel hemmed in by Scorpio's rapt attention and high expectations for love. If Scorpio can control their emotions, these two are in for satisfaction and excitement.

Both Scorpio and Sagittarius see each day as an adventure (or in Scorpio's case, a compelling mystery) and as an endless opportunity to explore, to probe, to learn. Shared escapades bring them closer. While Sagittarius may get fed up with Scorpio's stubbornness and inflexibility, Scorpio could be thinking their Sagittarius mate is just a little too hotheaded. They'll enjoy learning together, and travel could be very beneficial for this pair. Their relationship is always on the go!

Pluto and Mars rule Scorpio, and Mars and Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter. Mars is the God of War, opening the door for Scorpio's determined, courageous character. Mars, when combined with Pluto, represents rebirth and renewal. Jupiter focuses on philosophy, higher learning, expansion, optimism, luck and travel. These planetary attributes -- of growth, expansion and masculine energy -- combine to create a sustainable relationship of mutual admiration.

Scorpio is a Water Sign, and Sagittarius is a Fire Sign. Sagittarius is the spontaneous partner, heading in the direction their whim leads them, while Scorpio's motives are more subdued, less easy to read. Even if they run into misunderstandings or misinterpretations of each other's motivations, crisis can be averted. If these love mates agree that their relationship is significant, their devotion and affection will see them through.

Scorpio is a Fixed Sign, and Sagittarius is a Mutable Sign. Both of these love mates can multitask like pros, keeping each other's interests at heart, juggling birthdays and special dates with family obligations, but it really takes Scorpio's follow-through to get anything finished in this pair. Sagittarius gets the urge to jump around from project to project, so Scorpio's stick-to-it-tivness comes in handy. Lucky for Scorp partners, Sagittarius notices all the work their mates put in -- and they definitely show their appreciation when they know it's needed. Scorpio can be stubborn, exacting and demanding, so this mate needs to give their Sagittarius love their personal space and time for their own interests. Scorpio leads Sagittarius' ideas fruition, even if Sagittarius has lost interest and moved on. So they're not all work and no play, Sagittarius comes through with their knack for flexibility, a positive quality that sometimes wins out over resolute determination.

What's the best thing about the Scorpio-Sagittarius relationship? The security and flexibility they can give one another. Once they open up to one another and to appreciate their different philosophies in love and in life, these two have potential for steamy relations, deep connections and heartfelt respect. As long as they communicate and celebrate their differences, theirs will be a passionate relationship.
