The article presents the overview of foreign and Russian behavioral disorder studies (e.g ADHD) in children and teens. Four approaches to the diagnosis and correction of ADHD in children and adolescents are identified: Anglo-Saxon (biomedical), French (socio-psychological), Russian (medical-psychological and neuropsychological), Asian (educational). Prospects on the etiopathogenetic mechanisms of the occurrence of behavioral disorders and their correction (medication, neuropsychological, psychotherapeutic, etc.) indicated.

Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract Background: Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common behavioral disorder in childhood and adolescence. A number of these patients do not respond to the current pharmacological treatments and there may also be drug side effects. This study aims to determine the efficacy and safety of two herbal medicine products, including Rosa canina L. (RC) and a polyherbal formulation (PHF) syrups on the clinical manifestations of ADHD in children and adolescents.Methods: Ninety ADHD patients based on DSM-5 diagnostic criteria will be randomly assigned equally to three groups: (1) RC syrup + methylphenidate (MP); (2) PHF syrup + MP; (3) placebo + MP according to the inclusion criteria (30 subjects in each group). The syrups dosage is 5 cc every 8 hours and MP has a stabilized dose for 8 weeks during the study. Moreover, Conner’s questionnaires will be completed by the teacher and parents before the intervention and then every 4 weeks. Also, the child symptom inventory-fourth edition (CSI-4) and temperament questionnaires will be completed before the intervention and every four weeks until two months.Discussion: This trial is the first experiment to determine the effects of RC and PHF syrups on the clinical manifestations of ADHD in children and adolescents. Our findings provide new insight into the effect of these herbal products on the clinical manifestations of ADHD.Trial registration: The trial was registered at https://en.irct.ir/ (Registration number: IRCT20190923044855N1).

AbstractBackgroundResearch identifies highly variable prevalence estimates for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in children and adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), particularly between community and clinical samples, warranting quantitative meta-analyses to investigate the true prevalence of ASD in children and adolescents with ADHD.MethodsStudies were identified through a systematic literature search of PsycINFO, MEDLINE and Web of Science through January 2018. Twenty-two publications met inclusion criteria (total N = 61 985). Two random effects meta-analyses were conducted: (1) to identify the proportion of children and adolescents with ADHD that met criteria for ASD; and (2) to compare the severity of dimensionally-measured ASD symptomology in children and adolescents with and without ADHD.ResultsThe overall pooled effect for children and adolescents with ADHD who met threshold for ASD was 21%. There was no significant difference between community samples (19%) and clinical samples (24%) or between US studies v. those from other countries. Children and adolescents with ADHD had substantially more dimensionally-measured ASD traits compared with those who did not have ADHD (d = 1.23).ConclusionThe findings provide further evidence that ADHD and ASD are associated in nature. Clinical and research implications are discussed.

The pathophysiology of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) involves deficits in performance monitoring and adaptive adjustments. Yet, the developmental trajectory and underlying neural correlates of performance monitoring deficits in youth with ADHD remain poorly understood. To address the gap, this study recruited 77 children and adolescents with ADHD and 77 age- and gender-matched healthy controls (HC), ages 8–18 years, who performed an arrow flanker task during electroencephalogram recording. Compared to HC, participants with ADHD responded more slowly and showed larger reaction time variability (RTV) and reduced post-error slowing; they also exhibited reduced error-related negativity (ERN) and error positivity effects, and reduced N2 and P3 congruency effects. Age effects were observed across groups: with increasing age, participants responded faster, with less variability, and with increased post-error slowing. They also exhibited increased ERN effects and increased N2 and P3 congruency effects. Increased RTV and reduced P3 amplitude in incongruent trials were associated with increased ADHD Problems Scale scores on the Child Behavior Checklist across groups. The altered behavioral and ERP responses in ADHD are consistent with the pattern associated with younger age across groups. Further research with a longitudinal design may determine specific aspects of developmental alteration and deficits in ADHD during performance monitoring.
