RESUMEN
En este artículo se plantean las dificultades en el diagnóstico y tratamiento de los trastornos mentales en la infancia. Se manejan habitualmente los criterios del Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, que son categóricos y por ello insuficientes. Se expone la dificultad de definir las zonas de ambigüedad entre lo que se considera normal o patológico, ya que los comportamientos son continuos. Se hace una reflexión acerca de los fines de la Medicina, la función parental y los valores sociales. Finalmente, se plantean interrogantes acerca del mejor tratamiento para estos pacientes (AU)
ABSTRACT
This paper describes some of the complexities associated to the current approach to diagnosing and treating mental disturbances in children. Most of the diagnoses are articulated in DSM categories that are insufficient. DSM´s categories capture heterogeneous overlaps. Because symptoms and impairments are expressed along a continua, there are no bright lines between healthy children and impaired ones. The goals of medicine, parental and social values and improving the best treatment for these patients are also discussed (AU)
