Sintomatología del trastorno por déficit de atención con hiperactividad y su relación con el maltrato infantil: predictor y consecuencia / Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder symptoms and their relationship with child abuse: Predictor and consequence

Cada vez con mayor frecuencia, la literatura especializada relaciona la presencia de sintomatología del trastorno por déficit de atención con hiperactividad (TDAH) con el maltrato infantil, tanto físico, como psíquico y sexual. Este hecho comporta la necesidad de una mayor precisión en el diagnóstico diferencial, pues hasta hace unos años el trastorno por estrés postraumático era considerado como el referente sintomatológico para este tipo de casos. Así, es necesario delimitar y conceptualizar un universo de secuelas y consecuencias del maltrato infantil cada vez más amplio y detallado, donde el TDAH puede relacionarse con el daño psíquico sufrido. Por otro lado, la vulnerabilidad propia del niño con TDAH puede convertirse, a su vez, en un factor de riesgo necesario de considerar por los profesionales que atienden este tipo de problemática

The current literature increasingly associates the presence of symptoms of ADHD in both physical and psychological and sexual child abuse. This implies the need for greater accuracy in the differential diagnosis, as until a few years ago, post-traumatic stress disorder was considered the reference symptoms for this type of case. Thus, it is necessary to define and conceptualize an increasingly broad and detailed world of sequels and consequences, where ADHD may be related to the psychological damage suffered by child abuse. Furthermore, the particular vulnerability of children with ADHD can, in turn, become a factor of risk that needs to be considered by the professionals who care for this type of patient
