Din care citez (in pagina e si lista de simptome)
B. Some hyperactivity - impulsive or inattentive symptoms that cause impairment were present
before the age of 7 years.[ In ICD 10:
G4
Onset of the disorder is no later than the age of seven years.]
C. Some impairment from the symptoms is present in
more than two or more settings (e.g. at school or work or at home). [ In ICD, e formulat mai pe larg:
G5 Pervasiveness
The criteria should be met for more than a single situation, eg the combination of inattention and hyperactivity should be present both at home and at school, or at both school and another setting where children are observed, such as a clinic. (Evidence for cross-situationality will ordinarily require information from more than one source; parental reports about classroom behaviour, for instance, are unlikely to be sufficient.)]
D. There must be
clear evidence of clinically significant impairment in social, academic, or occupational functioning.
Am dat citatele astea din ambele manuale de diagnostic ca sa vedeti ca pentru fiecare tulburare exista criterii clare ce tin nu doar de simptomul in sine ci si de varsta, perioada de timp si mediul in care se manifesta simptomul respectiv.
