Jerry and Dennis thought they would reintroduce as "Oldies but Goodies" some of the top listener downloads. Here is program 58 titled
Classic & Inattentive ADD
The first two of Dr. Amen's types Classic and Inattentive are related to the problems of the brain's prefrontal cortex. Like old Phineas Gage, with the frontal lobes lost or ineffective, we lose our brakes and our boss. The problems that follow are symptoms related to Classic ADD (Dr. Amen's Type 1). The sufferer experiences the following: easily distracted, has difficulty sustaining attention span for most tasks in play, school, or work-trouble listening when others are talking-difficulty following through (procrastination) on tasks or instructions-difficulty keeping an organized area (room, desk, book bag, filing cabinet, locker, etc.)-trouble with time (e.g. frequently late or hurried, tasks take longer than expected, projects for homework are last-minute or turned in late)-a tendency to lose things-careless mistakes, poor attention to detail-forgetful-restless or hyperactive-trouble sitting still-fidgety, in constant motion (hands, feet, body)-noisy, has a hard time being quiet-acts as if driven by a motor-talks excessively-impulsive (doesn't think through comments or actions before they are said or done)-difficulty waiting his or her turn-interrupts or intrudes on others (e.g. butts into conversations or games).
The Inattentive ADD subtype shares many of the same symptoms of classic ADD. A big difference is what they do with their distraction. William and Billy were moved to physical motion and hyperactivity. This type is moved in thought”daydreams, fantasies, internal distractions, etc. The problems that follow are symptoms related to Inattentive ADD (Dr. Amen's Type 2). The sufferer experiences the following:-easily distracted-difficulty sustaining his or her attention span for most tasks in play, school, or work-trouble listening when others are talking-difficulty following through-procrastination on projects or tasks-difficulty keeping an organized area (room, desk, book bag, filing cabinet, locker, etc.)-trouble with time frequently late or hurried, tasks take longer than expected, projects or homework are last minute or turned in late-a tendency to lose things-careless mistakes, with poor attention to detail-forgetful, daydreams excessively-complains of being bored-appears apathetic or unmotivated-tired, sluggish, or slow-moving-spacey or seems preoccupied.
