Objective: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is associated with impaired daily functioning in a wide range of domains. Resilience, the ability to overcome and recover from challenges, has been scarcely investigated in ADHD and could potentially provide novel strategies for treatment. However, since ADHD is often comorbid with other clinical conditions, it is necessary to better understand if it impairs resilience levels when controlled for other variables. This pilot study is the first to investigate the correlation between quantitative measures of resilience and ADHD using strict diagnostic criteria by controlling this correlation for comorbid conditions. Methods: Twelve adolescents diagnosed with ADHD via semi--structured interview using Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition (DSM-IV) were compared to 12 adolescents exhibiting typical development, regarding resilience, in an analysis controlled for anxiety and depression levels, socioeconomic status, and intelligence quotient (IQ). Results: The ADHD group was less resilient than the control group (p < 0.01). Importantly, resilience in the ADHD group was not correlated with depression or anxiety, age, intelligence level, and socioeconomic status. Conclusions: ADHD seems to be associated with lower resilience, which cannot be explained by depression, anxiety, intelligence level, age, or socioeconomic status. Keywords: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, resilience, adolescents. ResumoObjetivo: O transtorno de déficit de atenção com hiperatividade (TDAH) se associa a comprometimento funcional em diferentes domínios. Resiliência, o modo como indivíduos enfrentam e superam dificuldades, não foi investigada de modo suficiente no TDAH e poderia sugerir potenciais novas estratégias terapêuti-cas. Entretanto, sendo o TDAH frequentemente comórbido com outras condições clinicas, é necessário entender se ele compromete a resiliência de modo independente de outras variáveis. Este estudo piloto é o primeiro a investigar a correlação entre medidas quantitativas de resiliência e TDAH diagnosticado de modo estrito controlando-a por variáveis clínicas. Método: Os níveis de resiliência de 12 adolescentes diagnosticados com TDAH de acordo com os critérios do sistema Manual Diagnóstico e Estatístico de Transtornos Mentais, 4ª edição (DSM-IV) através de entrevista semiestruturada foram comparados aos de 12 adolescentes com desenvolvimento típico, em uma análise controlada por níveis de ansiedade e depressão, status socioeconômico e inteligência. Resultados: O grupo TDAH apresentou menor resiliência do que o grupo controle (p < 0,01). Não houve correlação entre resiliência e depressão ou ansiedade, idade, inteligência ou nível socioeconômico. Conclusões: TDAH parece estar associado a baixos níveis de resiliência que não podem ser justificados por depressão, ansiedade, inteligência, idade ou condição socioeconômica. Descritores: Transtorno de déficit de atenção com hiperatividade, resiliência, adolescentes.

“…DBPs in parents have been linked to the abuse of their offspring, thereby increasing their risk of developing CD[ 84 , 85 ]. Children presenting with hyperactivity-inattention behaviours are more likely to have a more favourable educational outcome compared with those with aggression or oppositional behaviours[ 86 , 87 ].…”

Mental health problems in children and adolescents include several types of emotional and behavioural disorders, including disruptive, depression, anxiety and pervasive developmental (autism) disorders, characterized as either internalizing or externalizing problems. Disruptive behavioural problems such as temper tantrums, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, oppositional, defiant or conduct disorders are the commonest behavioural problems in preschool and school age children. The routine Paediatric clinic or Family Medicine/General Practitioner surgery presents with several desirable characteristics that make them ideal for providing effective mental health services to children and adolescents. DSM-5 and ICD-10 are the universally accepted standard criteria for the classification of mental and behaviour disorders in childhood and adults. The age and gender prevalence estimation of various childhood behavioural disorders are variable and difficult to compare worldwide. A review of relevant published literature was conducted, including published meta-analyses and national guidelines. We searched for articles indexed by Ovid, PubMed, PubMed Medical Central, CINAHL, EMBASE, Database of Abstracts and Reviews, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic reviews and other online sources. The searches were conducted using a combination of search expressions including “childhood”, “behaviour”, “disorders” or “problems”. Childhood behaviour and emotional problems with their related disorders have significant negative impacts on the individual, the family and the society. They are commonly associated with poor academic, occupational, and psychosocial functioning. It is important for all healthcare professionals, especially the Paediatricians to be aware of the range of presentation, prevention and management of the common mental health problems in children and adolescents.

“…Children with attention deficits display deficits in working memory, in particular auditory working memory ( Alderson et al, 2015 ), often seem to have a listening problem, need auditory information to be repeated, have difficulties in dichotic listening tasks ( Cacace and McFarland, 2006 ) and often display a sluggish cognitive tempo ( McBurnett et al, 2001 ). ADHD is commonly associated with school failures and academic under-achievement ( Faraone et al, 1993 ; Barkley et al, 2006 ; Serra-Pinheiro et al, 2008 ). A common explanation to symptoms of ADHD is low continuous levels of dopamine in the synaptic cleft ( Volkow et al, 2009 ).…”

The most common neuropsychiatric condition in the in children is attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), affecting ∼6–9% of the population. ADHD is distinguished by inattention and hyperactive, impulsive behaviors as well as poor performance in various cognitive tasks often leading to failures at school. Sensory and perceptual dysfunctions have also been noticed. Prior research has mainly focused on limitations in executive functioning where differences are often explained by deficits in pre-frontal cortex activation. Less notice has been given to sensory perception and subcortical functioning in ADHD. Recent research has shown that children with ADHD diagnosis have a deviant auditory brain stem response compared to healthy controls. The aim of the present study was to investigate if the speech recognition threshold differs between attentive and children with ADHD symptoms in two environmental sound conditions, with and without external noise. Previous research has namely shown that children with attention deficits can benefit from white noise exposure during cognitive tasks and here we investigate if noise benefit is present during an auditory perceptual task. For this purpose we used a modified Hagerman’s speech recognition test where children with and without attention deficits performed a binaural speech recognition task to assess the speech recognition threshold in no noise and noise conditions (65 dB). Results showed that the inattentive group displayed a higher speech recognition threshold than typically developed children and that the difference in speech recognition threshold disappeared when exposed to noise at supra threshold level. From this we conclude that inattention can partly be explained by sensory perceptual limitations that can possibly be ameliorated through noise exposure.
