F90-98 Behavioral disorders and emotions of usual beginning in childhood and adolescence.

F90 hypercinetic disorders

Group of disorders characterized by an early beginning, the combination of hyperactive and poorly modulated behavior with a marked lack of attention and continuity in tasks and because these problems occur in the most varied situations and persist over time.

Hypercinetic disorders have an early start (usually during the first five years of life). Its main characteristics are a lack of persistence in activities that require the participation of cognitive processes and a tendency to change from one activity to another without any, together with a disorganized, poorly regulated and excessive activity. Normally these difficulties persist during the years of schooling and even in adult life, but in many of those affected there is, over the years, a gradual improvement of hyperactivity and the deficit of attention.

Hypercinetic children are usually neglected and impulsive, prone to accidents, and pose discipline problems for skipping the rules, rather than for challenges deliberately to them, due to a lack of premeditation. Their social relationship with adults are usually uninhibited, with a lack of natural prudence and reserve. They are unpopular among children and can become isolated children. The presence of a cognitive deficit is frequent and the specific delays in motor and language development are extraordinarily frequent.

Secondary complications are a dissocial, antisocial behavior and a low estimate of itself. There is considerable overlap between hypercinesia and other forms of abnormal behavior such as dissocial disorder in non -socialized children. However, more general evidence tends to distinguish a group in which hypercinesia is the main problem.

Hypercinetic disorders are presented in men with a frequency several times higher than the female sex. It is common for reading or learning problems.

Diagnosis guidelines

Cardinal traits are the attention deficit and hyperactivity. The diagnosis requires the presence of both, which must be manifested in more than one situation (for example, in class, in the consultation).

The attention disorder is revealed by a premature interruption of the execution of tasks and for leaving uninjured activities. The boys frequently change from one activity to another, giving the impression that they lose attention in a task because they become entertained with another (although laboratory studies do not accurately demonstrate an extraordinary degree of sensory or perceptual distraction). These deficits in persistence and attention should be diagnosed only if they are excessive for the age and the IC of the affected.

Hyperactivity implies excessive concern, especially in situations that require relative calm. Depending on the circumstances, it can manifest as jumping and running aimlessly, such as the impossibility of remaining sitting when it is necessary to be, by a verbiage or uproar or by a general concern accompanied by gestures and contortions. The criterion for the assessment of whether an activity is excessive is based on the context, that is, what would be expected in that specific situation and what would be normal taking into account the age and the IC of the child. This behavioral trait is more evident in the extreme and very structured situations that require a high degree of control of their own behavior.

In adulthood, the diagnosis of hypercinetic disorder can also be made. The foundations are the same, but the attention deficit and hyperactivity should be valued in relation to the evolution of each case. When hypercinesia appeared only in childhood and in the course of time it has been replaced by another entity as a personality disorder or substance abuse, the current entity must be encoded instead of the past.
