Can a person have both ADD and ADHD? Does Everyone have ADD, just some have more symptoms than others?

My friend and i were having a dispute about ADD/ADHD, and he said that everyone has add, and only some people have worse cases of it and so show more symptoms, i disagreed with him because i always thought that ADD/ADHD is on a spectrum, but everyone doesn’t have it.

I have ADD, i do not however have ADHD. to me ADD is just the disability to not be able to pay attention, ADHD is not being able to pay attention and be extremely hyper. Not eveyone has ADD. your friend is wrong. If you have ADHD, you also have ADD. its just ADD plus the H.

    ADD doesn’t really exist. if you look at the latest research that is in the peer reviewed journals.

    There is no such thing as either one of them. It’s just a condition the Pharmaceutical Co’s invented to make Billions. Then they pay Doctors to so call diagnose it and prescribe it!
