“…16 The neurobiological changes in adults with ADHD, including the standards of genetic transmission and the findings of neuropsychological and neuroimaging studies, are similar to those found in children and adolescents with the disorder, which confirms the validation of the adult form. 13,17 Studies involving families, adoption and twins indicate that the ADHD is a strongly inherited disorder.…”

Considerando-se as dificuldades atuais do diagnóstico do transtorno do déficit de atenção/hiperatividade em adultos, foram reunidos especialistas brasileiros que fazem pesquisas nesta área, de modo a produzir diretrizes de consenso para uso no país. Foi realizada uma revisão não-sistemática preliminar e concebido um texto inicial, que foi repetidamente avaliado e editado pelos autores, com acréscimos e correções ao longo de 6 meses, através de correio eletrônico e de uma reunião posterior, patrocinada pela Associação Brasileira do Déficit de Atenção. A versão preliminar foi apresentada publicamente durante o congresso anual da Associação Brasileira de Psiquiatria, com comentários e sugestões dos participantes, para a redação da versão final.

“…Since the correlation between ADHD symptoms and impairment may be only moderate 5 , it is necessary for the clinician to minimize as much as possible any potentially interfering aspects during consultation. b) Although research data does not support the idea that ADHD is a cultural construct 15 , we and others have suggested 16 that there is a wide variation in beliefs related to ADHD among countries -both cultural and historical. An assessment of ADHD-associated impairment should take this into consideration.…”

Background: Functional impairment is needed to make an attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) diagnosis, but there is a paucity of instruments addressing this issue. Objective: Perform psychometric analysis of a functional impairment scale (FIE). Methods: A sample of 320 individuals, including ADHD probands, their siblings and parents, filled the FIE. We analyzed psychometric properties for the entire sample and age groups. Factor structure was determined by a principal component factor analysis, using oblique rotation with Kaiser normalization and Eigenvalues higher than 1. Cronbach's alpha and SpearmanBrown were calculated. Results: Family analysis revealed four components: a) "family life", b) "self-perception", c) "performance" and d) "social life". Adults' analysis revealed two components: a) "family life, social life and self-perception" and b) "performance". Children showed the domains: a) "performance and social life", b) "self-perception" and c) "family life" components. Cronbach's alpha were above 0.9 in all components. Discussion: Results revealed up to four domains depending on the group considered. Different life demands might explain the variability of domains on the groups.

“…As mães brasileiras e espanholas evidenciaram maiores médias na Escala de Externalização, seguidas das síndromes de Comportamentos Agressivo e Problemas de Atenção. Estes achados corroboram vários registros na literatura científica que apontam um perfil psicopatológico comórbido do TDAH com os comportamentos externalizantes (Jacob et al, 2014;Kuja-Halkola et al, 2015;Rivera et al, 2005;Roessner, Becker, Rothenberger, Rohde, & Banaschewski, 2007;Rohde et al, 2005;Schoemaker et al, 2013;Tureck, Matson, May, & Turygin, 2013). Este achado converge com o estudo de comparação transcultural realizado entre Brasil e Alemanha (Roessner et al, 2007), que sugeriu ser um padrão consistente que independe da cultura.…”
