Abstract
El diagnóstico de TDAH es clínico y se fundamenta en una
entrevista, que es considerada una de las herramientas más relevantes del
proceso de evaluación. Presenta una elevada comorbilidad y, en la
revisión de la literatura encontramos, una amplia variabilidad de la
prevalencia del TDAH, que en parte, se debe a diferencias en la
metodología utilizada. En lo que respecta al diagnóstico, existen tres
síntomas que se consideran básicos en el TDAH (déficit de atención,
hiperatividad y impulsividad) junto a otras particularidades. A lo largo de
los años han sido varias las alteraciones a los criterios de diagnóstico
según los sistemas de clasificación más utilizados (DSM y CID). En este
capítulo, haremos referencia a los criterios actuales, bién como a las
controversias y limitaciones diagnósticas.
The diagnosis of ADHD is clinical and is based on an interview, which is considered one of the most relevant tools of the evaluation process. It presents a high comorbidity and, in the review of the literature, we found a wide variability of the prevalence of ADHD, which in part, is due to differences in the methodology used. Regarding diagnosis, there are three symptoms that are considered basic in ADHD (attention deficit, hyperactivity and impassivity) along with other particularities. Over the years there have been several alterations to the diagnostic criteria according to the most commonly used classification systems (DSM and ICD). In this chapter, we will refer to the current criteria, as well as to the controversies and diagnostic limitations.
