"Ring of Fire" Attention
Deficit Disorder: ADHD with Bipolar Features.
The Ring of Fire type draws characteristics from the other types
of Attention Deficit Disorder. They can be hyperverbal, meaning
that the frequency of dialogue is much greater than the Classic
ADHD’s chattering. Like the Over-focused, the Ring of Fire type
can get stuck in loops of negative thought and can display
obsessive or ritualistic behavior. Like the Temporal Lobe, the
Ring of Fire type can be overly sensitive and prone to temper
outbursts.
Like the Temporal Lobe, Limbic and Over-focused types of ADHD,
Ring of Fire symptoms can worsen with the use of stimulant
medications alone.
A unique characteristic to this ADD type is that the Ring of Fire
type tends to be overly sensitive to light, sound, taste, or
touch.
The Ring of Fire ADD person does nothing in a subtle way and has
manic qualities that can be very difficult to manage. This ADD
type doesn’t just talk often, he talks nonstop. The Ring of Fire
ADD type is easily distracted, aggressive, oppositional, and
moody. Nervousness, chronic stress, panic attacks, obsessive
behavior and anxiety can also be present. He has difficulty
switching gears and frequently gets stuck on negative thoughts. He
is inflexible and can be quite oppositional. In short, this ADD
type is not exactly a charm to live with.
