PREGO BELTRAN, César Enrique et al. Diagnosis and evaluation of children with hyperactivity and deficit attention disorder. ccm [online]. 2019, vol.23, n.1, pp.187-209. ISSN 1560-4381.

To determine insufficiencies in the diagnostic evaluation of patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, for a complete assessment. We propose axes for diagnostic evaluation of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, for its better comprehension. We conclude that a diagnostic evaluation process of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder should be: comprehensive, focused on potential, personalized, contextualized, systemic, with an evolutionary vision including treatment response. In relation to predominant nuclear symptoms, axes reflect comorbid mental disorders, associated somatic alterations, etiological factors identified, school performance: socio-compensatory potential, response to treatment, characteristics of the interaction environments, evolution and prognosis of the disorder.

Keywords : diagnostic evaluation; attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; children.
