Multidisciplinary intervention in patients with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Abstract

This is an integrative review of the literature. It was possible to structure the following guiding question: “What are the multidisciplinary interventions in patients with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder?” A survey was carried out through the electronic library, the Virtual Health Library (VHL), and the following databases were selected: Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS) and Medical Literatures Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE ). With this, the descriptors consulted in the Descriptors in Science and Health (DeCS), in the month of September 2023, were used, being: “Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity”, “Patient Assistance Team” and “Mental Health”, with the descriptors in English so that there was a greater approach to studies using the Boolean operator AND between the descriptors when combined. After applying the eligibility criteria, a total of 8 selected articles were used. When we talk about dealing with people with ADHD, we also talk about dealing with interdisciplinarity, thus making other interventions necessary, including psychopedagogical interventions, focused on building conditions so that the person with ADHD can position themselves appropriately. , and pathological behavior takes a backseat. In summary, the treatment of ADHD needs to be multidisciplinary in order to obtain a good result in the quality of life of the sufferer. Using some therapies or medications in isolation, without multidisciplinary monitoring, may not be the best option for effective treatment.
