Preschool ADHD: exploring uncertainties in diagnostic validity and utility, and treatment efficacy and safety

Preschool ADHD: exploring uncertainties in diagnostic validity and utility, and treatment efficacy and safety
Preschool ADHD: exploring uncertainties in diagnostic validity and utility, and treatment efficacy and safety
The current scientific and clinical status of preschool attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and its management is reviewed. Recent clinical and neuropsychological research supporting the utility of the construct will be presented along with a critical analysis of diagnostic issues. The published literature on treatment efficacy (both pharmacological and nonpharmacological) will be reviewed with a special focus on the issue of the safety and side effects of psycho-stimulants. The need for early identification and preventative intervention is indicated but caution should be employed in the use of psychostimulants with this age group.

Abstract

The current scientific and clinical status of preschool attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and its management is reviewed. Recent clinical and neuropsychological research supporting the utility of the construct will be presented along with a critical analysis of diagnostic issues. The published literature on treatment efficacy (both pharmacological and nonpharmacological) will be reviewed with a special focus on the issue of the safety and side effects of psycho-stimulants. The need for early identification and preventative intervention is indicated but caution should be employed in the use of psychostimulants with this age group.
