Résumé / Abstract

Children with attention deficits have been known since the beginning of the last century. Untreated children have a poor prognosis. This paper reviews the diagnostic criteria and the problems there still are with the diagnoses. There are two official diagnostic systems, ICD-10 and DSM-IV, both have descriptive and general diagnostic criteria. There are no independent valid tests, but the last two years have seen recommendations from the USA and UK for a more thorough diagnostic assessment. For the diagnosis of DAMP, as it is used in Sweden, there are no proper scientific studies. More specific criteria are described in a Danish reference programme for children with DAMP.
