Revisión bibliográfica sobre las comorbilidades del trastorno por déficit de atención con hiperactividad con otros cuadros clínicos

Abstract

This study aims to carry out a bibliographic review of the scientific literature of the last 13 years (2010-2023) of the scientific articles included in the PudMed, Scielo and Academic Google database, with the aim of determining which are the most comorbid clinical pictures with the disorder attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). First, a general search was made for those articles that included the keywords “attention deficit hyperactivity disorder” and “comorbidity” in the Abstract, to carry out more specific searches from there. After this second, more systematic search, a pre-selection of articles by title was carried out. Subsequently, two more preselections were carried out based on the content of the Abstract. After the different filters applied, finally, 42 articles were selected that were analyzed in depth one by one in order to respond to the objective of this study. The review of the literature shows that the most comorbid disorders with ADHD were behavioral problems, learning disorders, risk of injury, anxiety and depression disorders, negativity defiant disorders (ODD) and affective disorder. It is necessary to highlight the existence of individual differences in all clinical manifestations, and that more important than knowing the comorbid categories with ADHD, is the realization of a dimensional approach to said conditions, since certain subclinical conditions may not be detected as comorbid if we approach them from a categorical approach.
