ABSTRACT

Attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a very frequent neuropsychiatric problem in pediatric practice. Despite clinical features of ADHD are increasingly depicted in the medical literature, a better understanding of this pathology is still required. Pediatricians and primary care physicians should know that ADHD has markedly variable clinical presentation, as well as that it may result in significant impact on the children’s physical and emotional wellbeing, academic achievements and social interaction in the different life stages. Possible genetic alterations associated to ADHD are analyzed in the present paper, in addition to the prenatal and enviromental factors that can interact with the genetics anomalies that have been linked to ADHD.
