【 摘 要 】

Studies indicate that Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) appears to result from a combination of genetic, biological, environmental and social factors. In addition, neural tissue changes responsible for regulating executive functions also seem to be part of the etiology. ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder defined by inattention, disorganization and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity with genetic participation. Inattention, disorganization and inability to remain on a task, appearance of not hearing and loss of objects at levels inconsistent with age or level of development and is quite characteristic of carriers. ADHD usually persists in adulthood, resulting in social, academic and professional functioning impairments. From the literature review, it is observed that the methods used for the diagnosis of ADHD are efficient. According to their parents and teachers, children older than 6 years diagnosed using the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual on Mental Diseases (DSM-5) or International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) showed a significant difference in symptoms. Studies show that there has been a boom in ADHD diagnostic numbers in recent years, probably due to non-adhering to the DSM and ICD-10 criteria. Therefore, The DSM-5 and the ICD-10 should be used to allow an accurate diagnosis. Another point to be considered is that professionals who deal with this situation daily need to be trained to deal effectively with mental health, mainly related to the diagnosis of ADHD.
