RESUMO
Authors studied 151 patients with psychosomatic diseases with attention deficit of different severity and hyperkinetic disorders. Based on the results obtained in the study, it was suggested an affective- disontogenetic conception of hyperkinetic disorders in children and adolescents. A significant role of both biological and psychosocial factors as well as gender and age differences in the development and formation of activity and attention disorders is emphasized. The frequency of these factors was correlated with clinical specifics of hyperkinetic disorders. The correlation between specifics of hyperkinetic disorders and affective disorders (subdepression) was confirmed by the high effectiveness of differential psychopharmacotherapy with antidepressants.
