“Control your temper.” “Why did you react like that?” “How did you forget that already?”

Sometimes attention problems are only part of the picture.
After analyzing over 300,000 brain scans, Dr. Amen and Amen Clinics have identified 7 ADHD patterns, helping clinicians look beyond the diagnosis to better understand the individual.

Type 4: Temporal Lobe ADHD combines core ADHD symptoms with challenges that may include irritability, memory problems, sudden bursts of anger, periods of spaciness or confusion, auditory processing issues, unexplained panic or fear, and learning difficulties. 

Amen Clinics reports that SPECT imaging can show increased or decreased activity in the temporal lobes, along with decreased activity during concentration in other regions associated with ADHD. The guide also notes a correlation between this pattern and previous head injuries and toxic or infectious exposure.

When symptoms extend beyond attention, understanding the whole picture matters.

If you’re seeking evaluation or treatment for ADHD, Amen Clinics has 11 clinic locations across the U.S. and 60+ clinicians on staff providing personalized, brain-based care. Visit AmenClinics.com or click the link in bio.
