“…Studies indicate that ADHD is one of the most common diagnoses in childhood, with prevalence of 3 to 5% in school-age children and more frequently in boys (Andrade;Scheuer, 2004;Rohde;Halpern, 2004;Vasconcelos et al, 2003). Andrade and Scheuer (2004) show that the prevalence rate found in epidemiological studies in Brazil was from 3.6% to 5% of school-age population; thus, being similar to worldwide data. However, Vasconcelos et al (2003, p. 68, authors' translation) note that "more recent studies have found higher prevalence rates, and more rigorous epidemiological studies have defined 4 to 12% rates among the general population of 6 to 12 years old children".…”

This article discusses the social consequences of the impossibility of specifically defining the boundaries of the concept of mental disorder, which seems to be a “vague” term with no satisfactory definition, especially when referred to children’s behaviors. We argue that when discussing children’s problematic, disturbing or non-conforming behaviors it is necessary to understand how these concepts are related to the classificatory categories of children’s behaviors and presented as care demands, whether in common sense or in biomedical discourses. Data were collected in qualitative research developed in three different child mental health services (CMHS), one in Santos (2012) and two in Campinas (2009-2010; 2017-2018), Brazil. Based on what seems to be a relation between biological-psychological dysfunction and social-cultural expectation or response, our starting point is that agitation is also a multidimensional and vague category, presenting a description and theoretical reflection about the various concepts regarding agitation. The analysis focuses on the different uses of the concepts of agitation; the social actors and institutions involved in care demands and how they are interdependently connected; then revealing, from a sociocultural perspective, the implications of classifying and defining children’s behavior from this vague category.

BackgroundAttention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurobiological condition that affects 3%–7% of the pediatric population and significantly compromises the quality of life (QoL) of these individuals. The aim of the current study was to compare child self-reports and parent proxy reports on the QoL of children with ADHD.MethodsForty-five children with ADHD, combined type, aged 8–12 years without comorbidities, were compared with 43 typically developing children. PedsQL™ 4.0 (Pediatric QoL Inventory™) Generic Core Scales (physical, emotional, social, and school functioning) were completed by families and children self-reporting their health-related QoL.ResultsChildren with ADHD reported themselves significantly lowered their PedsQL™ scores on all dimensions in comparison to typically developing children. Statistically significant differences were observed in social functioning (p = 0.010), school functioning (p <0.001), psychosocial health (p <0.001), and total score (p = 0.002). The physical functioning and emotional functioning dimensions did not differ significantly between groups, with p = 0.841 and p = 0.070, respectively. Parents of children with ADHD also reported lower PedsQL™ scores, with statistically significant differences in all dimensions. The relationship between child self-reports and parent proxy reports indicated that there is greater agreement among children with ADHD, except for the school functioning.ConclusionsThis suggests that children with the disorder and their parents have a perception of the functional limitations the disorder brings. It is therefore important to undertake studies to verify the QoL in children with ADHD that aim to provide and measure the scope of the well-being of these children.

“…The prevalence of ADHD has been investigated in many countries, and studies using the criteria of the DSM-IV have tended to find prevalences of 3-6% among children of school age in the United States. In Brazil, the prevalence rate in studies of this type has been found to be 3.6 to 5% of the school-age population (Andrade and Scheuer, 2004). The proportions of the disorder between boys and girls, according to epidemiological studies, has ranged from 2:1 in population based studies to 9:1 in clinical studies, respectively (Rohde and Halpern, 2004).…”

O filósofo da ciência Ian Hacking diz que nosso mundo é um mundo de classificações e que essas classificações têm efeitos particulares quando se referem a comportamentos de pessoas. Neste trabalho, pretende-se discutir como o diagnóstico do Transtorno de Déficit de Atenção com Hiperatividade (TDAH) infantil pode funcionar como uma classificação e, assim, afetar o comportamento das crianças diagnosticadas. Inicialmente, é realizada uma discussão sobre a função das classificações na ciência. A partir dessas considerações, um modelo mais geral sobre a interação entre classificações e classificados é proposto, tendo como base a distinção de Ian Hacking entre tipos indiferentes e tipos interativos, e também a noção de efeito de arco proposta por esse autor. Por fim, o modelo é aplicado ao TDAH, onde são realizadas considerações relacionadas às noções de controle social de Peter Conrad.
