EL TRASTORNO POR DEFICIT DE ATENCION E HIPERACTIVIDAD PUEDE PERSISTIR EN LA ADULTEZ

Resumen
El trastorno por déficit de atención e hiperactividad (TDAH) fue considerado un trastorno típico de la infancia, cuya sintomatología remitía al llegar a la edad adulta. Sin embargo, los estudios longitudinales realizados demostraron la persistencia de los síntomas en la edad adulta en un porcentaje elevado de casos (entre 30%-60%). De manera análoga, las disfunciones cognitivas descritas en los niños con TDAH se han encontrado en los pacientes adultos con TDAH. Así, las principales disfunciones ejecutivas encontradas en los pacientes adultos son similares a las encontradas en niños con TDAH: alteración en la respuesta de inhibición, en la capacidad de planificación, dificultades en flexibilidad cognitiva y fluidez verbal y dificultades en memoria de trabajo. Dado que estas alteraciones en las funciones ejecutivas se relacionan con, al menos, parte de la sintomatología que se observa en los adultos con TDAH (como dificultades en la organización y planificación de tareas, hábitos de trabajo ineficientes, dificultades en el control de la impulsividad o problemas académicos y laborales), será de especial importancia aumentar el conocimiento de dichas disfunciones ejecutivas en los pacientes adultos con este trastorno.

Palabras clave
disfunción ejecutiva, trastorno por déficit de atención e hiperactividad, respuesta de inhibición, memoria de trabajo, flexibilidad cognitiva

Executive Dysfunctions in Adults with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

Abstract
Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has traditionally been considered as a childhood disorder, with symptoms that remitted in adulthood. Nevertheless, longitudinal studies have shown the persistence of the symptoms in adulthood in a high percentage of cases (between 30%-60%). Similarly, cognitive dysfunctions described in children with ADHD have also been observed in adults with ADHD. Thus, the main executive dysfunctions found in adult patients mimic those found in children with ADHD: disturbances in response inhibition, in planning abilities, difficulties in cognitive flexibility and verbal fluency, as also in working memory. Given the relationship between these and at least part of the symptoms observed in ADHD (such as difficulties in organising and planning tasks, inefficient working habits, difficulties in impulsivity control, or academic or work problems) it seems especially important to increase the knowledge of those executive dysfunctions in adults with ADHD.

Key words
executive dysfunction, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, inhibition response, working memory, cognitive flexibility
