ADHD - Chronic neurobehavioral disorders that can interfere with an individuals ability to inhibit behavior (impulsivity), function efficiently in goal-oriented activities (inattention), or regulate the activity level (hyperactivity) in developmentally appropriate ways
Miller KJ, Castellanos FX. AD/HDs. Ped in Rev 1998; 19 (11)
- academic underachievement - troublesome interpersonal relationships with family members and peers - low esteem Untreated childhood ADHD More likely to experience conduct disorder, substance abuse, antisocial behavior and injuries later in life EARLY RECOGNITION, ASSESSMENT & MANAGEMENT
Prevalence rates vary substantially (changing diagnostic criteria overtime; variations depend on different settings sample estimation
- Varying from 4% to 12% - Males 9.2% (5.8%-13.6%) - Female 2.9% (1.9%-4.5%) - School samples 6.9% (5.5%-8.5%) - Community samples 10.3% (8.2%-12.7%)

Precise neural & pathophysiologic of ADHD remains unknown Frontostriatal regions, rich in noradrenergic, adrenergic and dopaminergic neurotransmitters are consistently implicated Dysregulation of inhibitory frontocortical activity (predominantly noradrenergic) on striatal structures (predominantly dopaminergic) Imaging studies reveal structural differences assosiated with ADHD in the caudates, globus pallidus, right frontal lobe. Anterior-inferior peribasal gangglia, bilateral retrocallosal, posterior parietaloccipital regions and the cerebellum

SCALE A (Inattention) and SCALE B (Hyperactivity-impulsivity) At least six of the nine criteria from one or both sets should be excessive in frequency (often/very often)
SCALE C
Screening questions that address commonly associated problems with compliance, socialization, emotional control, anxiety, mood, learning, and academic performance
DSM -IV-TR (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision) A. Either 1 or 2 - Inattention: six (or more) of the following symptoms of inattention have persisted for at least 6 months to a degree that is maladaptive and inconsistent with developmental level: a. Often fails to give close attention to details or makes careless mistakes in schoolwork, work, or other activities b. Often has difficulty sustaining attention in tasks or play activities
..Inattention
c. Often does not seem to listen when spoken to directly d. Often does not follow through with instructions and does not finish schoolwork, chores, or duties in the workplace (not due to oppositional behavior or failure to understand instructions) e. Often has difficulty organizing tasks and activities f. Often avoids, dislikes, or is reluctant to engage in tasks that requires sustained mental effort (such as schoolwork or home work) g. Often loses things necessary for tasks or activities (eg. toys, school assignments, pencils, books or tools) h. Is often easily distracted by extraneous stimuli i. Is often forgetful in daily activities
- Hyperactivity/Impulsivity: Six (or more) of the following symptoms of hyperactivity and impulsivity have persisted for at least 6 months to a degree that is maladaptive and inconsistent with developmental level: Hyperactivity a. Often fidgets with hands or feet or squirms in seat b. Often leaves seat in classroom or in other situations in which remaining seated is expected c. Often runs about or climbs excessively in situation in which this behavior inappropriate (in adolescents or adults may be limited to subjective feelings of restlessness)
.Hyperactivity/Impulsivity d. Often has difficulty playing or engaging in leisure activities quietly e. Is often on the go or often acts as if driven by a motor f. Often talks excessively
Impulsivity: g. Often blurts out answers before questions have been completed h. Often has difficulty awaiting turns i. Often interrupts or intrudes on others (eg. Butts into conversations or games)
B. Some hyperactive-impulsive or inattentive symptoms that caused impairment were present before age 7 years C. Some impairment from the symptoms is present in two or more setting (eg. at school (or work) and at home) D. There must be clear evidence of clinically significant impairment in social, academic, or occupational functioning E. The symptoms do not occur exclusively during the course of Pervasive Developmental Disorders, Schizoprenia or other Psychotic Disorder and are not better accounted for by another mental disorder (eg. Mood Disorder, Anxiety Disorder, Dissociative Disorder, or a Personality Disorder)
SUBTYPE OF ADHD

BEHAVIORAL - Presentation of educational material for the patient, parents and school personnel - Behavior-modification techniques (daily report card) - Educational Interventions and Accommodations for Patients with Learning Disabilities (preferential seat placement, more intensive accommodation) - Social skill training (improve interactions with peers)
- Individual counseling ( to alleviate secondary symptoms such as low self-esteem, oppositional defiant behavior and conduct disorder ; to control their own behavior) PHARMACEUTICAL / MEDICATION When impulsive behavior places the child at physical or psychological risk (table)

EFFECTS OF STIMULANTS Cognitive - Increased attention to assigned task - Decreased response to irrelevant stimuli - Improved speed and accuracy of performance - Improved short-term memory - Improved short-term academic performance Motor - Reduced activity level (often normalizes) - Decreased off-task motor behavior - Decreased excessive talking or noise - Increased independent play and work - Improved fine motor control/handwriting - Decreased anger and aggression - Decreased emotional and behavioral intensity - Increased sensitivity to reinforcement - Increased compliance with adult requests - Decreased negative interactions with peers - Improved mother-child & family interaction - Improved teacher-student relations
Social
SIDE EFFECTS OF STIMULANTS Common side effect - Appetite suppression, Weight loss, Delay in sleep onset, Abdominal discomfort, Headache, Dizziness, Minor increases in pulse & blood pressure, Behavioral rebound - Withdrawal hyperactivity (rebound), Agitation/jitteriness, Moodiness/sadness, Social withdrawal, Tics/dyskinesias, Weight loss/reduced growth velocity, Liver toxicity (pemoline only)
Overmedication - Irritability / weepiness (at peak), Over focusing, /Toxic effect Dazed appearance, Fatigue, Psychosis

Outcome is significantly affected by persistence of AD/HD symptoms, comorbid condition and psychosocial factors 30%-70% of children continue to be symptomatic as adults
Adults who have AD/HDs achieve lower academic levels, socioeconomic status, less vocational stability, increased marital problems Medication continues to be effective for adults, but response rate may be lower
