" It is important that this is a condition that always begins in childhood therefore should not be diagnosed someone who had no clear symptoms at this stage, "adds Dr. Arango.
The main symptoms are inability to maintain attention on a task for a minimum of time, anxiety, impulsivity, the faulty concept of time and precipitation in the answers.
This condition may have important consequences ranging from school failure in childhood, labor difficulties in adulthood, to be able to become the source of social problems (more likely to use drugs or traffic accidents, for example).
However, despite being a highly prevalent disease in children, is marked by a great social stigma, as determined by their lack of awareness, lack of specialized professionals, delays and errors in diagnosis and lack of prevention programs, "says Dr. Arango.
Importance of diagnosis and comprehensive approach.
Early detection is key in this disease because it "improves outcome and prognosis and, more importantly, improve the quality of life of the child and family," says Dr. Arango.
In this sense, "although the first symptoms can manifest in children aged 4 or 5 years and even before, not until about seven when parents tend to see the doctor," said the expert.
However, despite its importance, there is still a significant percentage of children and adults who are not diagnosed and, therefore, who are deprived of receiving the relevant treatment, with the risks involved.
"Like the rest of mental disorders should be comprehensive treatment including drug therapy and psychotherapy, it is important to intervene with the family and school. Stimulant drugs are more effective drug treatments for all that we have in psychiatry, if we consider the effect size. "
Similarly, for Dr. Arango
"we need more psychiatrists specializing in children and adolescents. And, diagnose and treat them well requires the physician to be well trained and have knowledge and experience, plus a total dedication to child psychiatry. " is a complex and extensive that it requires a dedicated doctor. One of the greatest shortcomings of English medicine has been the absence of the specialty of Child Psychiatry, "concludes Dr. Arango.
