Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurobehavioral developmental disorder that is usually diagnosed in children, with the appearance of symptoms up to seven years. The diagnosis was twice more frequently confirmed in boys than in girls. ADHD is characterized by symptoms of inattention and/or impulsiveness and hyperactivity, which can seriously affect many aspects of behaviour and performance in school and at home. ADHD may be accompanied by other disorders, such as oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder, anxiety or depression.
The study involved 400 participants. For the measurement of ADHD symptoms, the Vanderbilt-teacher rating scale and Vanderbilt-parent rating scale were used.
According to the teacher rating scale, a subtype of attention deficit and the opposite-defiant disorder were dominant conditions. From the parent rating scale - predominantly hyperactive/impulsive type of disorder, as well as the oppositional defiant disorder.
