Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

51
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Psychology
  • Developmental Disorders

Background:

  • Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder affecting approximately 5% of the population.
  • Executive functions are critical for understanding ADHD symptomatology and guiding treatment strategies.
  • This systematic review focuses on interventions targeting executive functions in individuals with ADHD.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review and identify treatment methods designed to enhance executive functions in individuals diagnosed with ADHD.
  • To synthesize current evidence on interventions for executive function deficits in ADHD.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature search was conducted across SCOPUS, PUBMED, and Science Direct databases.
  • Initial search yielded 739 articles; rigorous inclusion and exclusion criteria reduced the selection to 30 relevant studies for data extraction.

Main Results:

  • Psychological training emerged as a primary intervention, supported by 14 studies.
  • Medication was recommended in 9 studies, while digital interventions were suggested in 5 studies.
  • One study highlighted the benefits of sports for executive functions in ADHD.

Conclusions:

  • Existing data underscore the necessity for novel therapeutic approaches to bolster executive functions in ADHD.
  • Enhanced executive function support is crucial for improving academic, personal, social, and familial functioning in individuals with ADHD.
