Is ADHD a way of conceptualizing long-term emotional stress and social disadvantage?

Abstract: BackgroundThe prevalent, neuropsychiatric, deficit perspective on children and youth diagnosed with ADHD prohibits a multidimensional approach where socio-economic status, family stress and relationships within the families are relevant factors to examine. Assessments of ADHD through the use of rating scales and short-term interventions may lead not only to overdiagnosis but also to a reductionistic approach in the psychiatric field. This literature review aims to address research outside the prevailing discou… Show more

“…The likelihood that these children and young people have experienced trauma and abuse at homes [see, for example, ( 12 , 13 )] is not mentioned. Other social factors that correlate with the manifestation of inattentive, compulsive and/or hyperkinetic behaviors are not discussed, such as poverty and socioeconomic hardship ( 14 , 15 ), childhood trauma ( 16 , 17 ), child maltreatment ( 18 ), death in the family ( 19 ), low family cohesion ( 20 ), parental psychiatric disorder ( 19 ), parental separation ( 19 ), parental criminality ( 19 ), household dysfunction ( 21 ), familial incarceration ( 14 ) and parental long-term unemployment ( 22 ).…”

“…While researchers have proposed to move beyond the dichotomy of genes versus environment, and instead develop models based on interplay and epigenetics [79], the aetiologic narrative of 'ADHD symptoms' arguably continues to be unbalanced, explaining a wide range of heterogeneous behaviors as a biological disease entity [6,20,80]. Te Meerman and coworkers [80], for example, found that academic textbooks were rather biased, overstating the results of twin studies, and not addressing the implications of disappointing molecular research.…”

“…In the dominant discourse on ADHD symptoms, the general emphasis is put on an underlying biological disturbance [5]. This is despite the fact that a tangible number of children who receive an ADHD diagnosis are subject to social disadvantage and stressful environments that may impact their development and well-being [6].…”
