Inattentive Learning Disorders

This paper presents Inattentive Learning Disorders (ILD) as a symptom and Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) without Impulsivity and Hyperactivity also known as Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), as a diagnosis of exclusion.  It deals with conditions that are being inadvertently diagnosed as ADHD without Impulsivity and Hyperactivity, leading to inappropriate administration of the stimulant drugs like Ritalin.
