[Psychophysiological disturbances in attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder in adolescents]
Abstract:
We have studied 128 adolescents, aged 15-16 years, with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) using clinico-psychopathological, psychometric and electroencephalographic methods. Taking into account the age dynamics, the following components of ADHD have been singled out: motor (impulsivity-hyperactivity), subjective-cognitive (attention deficit) and somato-autonomic. The significance of subjective-cognitive disturbances, along with neurophysiological dysfunction, in the ADHD pathogenesis has been proved. Quantitative (productivity deficit) and qualitative (concentration deficit) disorders have been assessed. Author substantiated the deficit of emotional-motivational self-regulation measured by the M. Luscher test and the Self-assessment scale. The specific for ADHD pattern of alpha-rhythm reactivity has been found in EEG.
