Abstract
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a chronic disorder that begins in childhood and endures into adulthood. Therefore it can affects children, teenagers and adults.
It has a complicated diagnosis and there are several causes taking part into the onset of this disorder such as: sex, age, stage of development and social environment.
ADHD has different clinical presentation and according to this, patient are indicated a non-pharmacological treatment, drug therapy or the combination of both.
The main objective of this study is to analyse in the “Área de Gestión Sanitaria Sur de Sevilla” (AGSSS) patients currently treated for ADHD with Methylphenidate, Lisdexamfetamine, Atomoxetine and Guanfacine.?It has been compiled all the information about clinical histories of patients who are prescribed these four drugs in our Area, assessing the degree of adequacy of treatments. Therefore we need the algorithm for ADHD proposed by CADIME 2017.
In view of results we conclude that there is a lack of monitoring of patients and drugs are taken for a long period of time.
