본 고찰에서는 DSM-IV의 주의력결핍과잉행동장애(attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, ADHD)와 ICD-10의 과잉행동장애(hyperkinetic disorder, HKD)의 진단 체계를 비교하였고 그 차이점을 분석하여 임상 및 연구 측면에서 어떠한 의의가 있는지를 살펴보았다. 아직까지 DSM의 ADHD와 ICD의 HKD를 직접 비교한 연구들은 매우 부족한 상태이지만, DSM-IV의 ADHD가 ICD-10의 HKD 보다 광범위한 ADHD의 한 아형라는 것을 알 수 있었다. DSM-IV ADHD의 유병율은 ICD-10 HKD과 비교했을 때 더 높았으며 그 차이는 뚜렷했다. 이러한 결과가 DSM-IV 진단 알고리즘에서 부주의 우세형과 과잉행동-충동성 우세형이 포함되어 ADHD의 범위가 더욱 확장되어 나타난 것인지에 대해서는 아직까지 알 수 없다. 그리고 현재까지 진행된 연구들을 종합해 보았을 때, DSM-IV HKD와 DSM-IV ADHD가 질적으로 같거나 혹은 다르다고 주장할 수는 있는 충분한 근거는 없어 보인다. 다만 HKD가 보다 심한 형태의 ADHD의 한 아형일 가능성이 시사되고 있다. 그러므로 현재로써는 임상에서 환자를 진단하는데 있어 DSM-IV 혹은 ICD-10 중 일방에만 의존하여 ADHD/HKD 장애를 과다하게 진단 내리거나 혹은 실제보다 적게 진단내리는 것을 경계하여야 할 것이다. 특히 질병통계와 보험체계는 WHO의 ICD진단 체계에 맞춰져 있으나 대학이나 전공의 과정 중에는 주로 APA의 DSM진단 기준에 맞춰 학습하는 우리나라의 현실을 감안했을 때 과연 ADHD/HKD에 대한 진단율이 실제 유병율에 비해 과다한지 혹은 부족한지에 대해서도 관심을 기울일 필요가 있다. DSM-IV ADHD와 ICD-10 HKD가 진단적으로 얼마만큼 근접하고 있는지에 대해서는 주요 임상 변인과 endophenotype을 포함한 진단적 타당성에 대한 연구들이 더 진행되고, 관련된 가족연구와 장기 추적 연구들이 뒷받침 되었을 때 보다 명확해질 것으로 생각되며, 또한 ADHD/HKD에 대한 APA와 WHO가 보다 근접하고 일치되는 진단 알고리즘이 개발될 수 있을 것이라 예상된다.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of attention, intellectual functioning and adaptation of girls with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Methods : The scores of the ADHD Diagnostic System (ADS), the Korean Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-III (K-WISC-III) and the Korean Personality Inventory for Children (KPI-C) were compared between 26 girls with ADHD and 26 boys with ADHD. Results : 1) There was no significant gender difference in the intellectual functioning, except for the picture completion subscale. 2) Compared to the boys, the girls responded more slowly on the ADS visual task. 3) The girls were rated higher by their parents for the depression and social relationship problems of the KPI-C. Conclusion : The results suggest that there are noticeable gender differences for the attention problems and social functioning of children with ADHD.

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neuropsychiatric disorder that begins in early childhood and can persist throughout adulthood. ADHD causes difficulties in various area of life, such as academic achievement, peer relationships, family functioning, employment and marriage. Although ADHD is known to respond well to medication, such treatment is more effective when combined with psychosocial (non-pharmacologic) therapy in terms of alleviating the core symptoms and improving appropriate functions. Psychosocial treatment interventions are divided into psychoeducation, behavioral parent training, school intervention, cognitive behavior therapy, social skill training, parent-child interaction therapy, play therapy, other treatments (coaching, complementary and alternative medicine), neurofeedback and Cogmed. Adult ADHD cognitive behavioral therapy is described separately. These practice parameters summarize the evidence for psychosocial treatment. Based on this evidence, specific recommendations are provided for psychosocial interventions.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD) is one of the most common childhood-onset psychiatric disorders. It is distinguished by symptoms of hyperactivity, inattention, and impulsivity. The etiology of ADHD is unknown, and the disorder may several different causes. The pharmacotherapy most widely used for ADHD occasionally gives rise to ill effects. The studys of ADHD were approached from the viewpoint of medicine and pedagogics, but it is rare from the viewpoint of the Korean Medicine. So, we searched for the studies on ADHD of Chinese Traditional Medicine(TCM) in last eight years(1995-2002). In TCM, ADHD was placed under the category of 'wind(風)-one of the five pathogenic factors', 'insomnia(失眠)', 'forgetfulness(健忘)' and 'restlessness(躁動)', etc. Jang and Bu(the internal organs; 臟腑) related with the differentiations of syndrome about ADHD were liver(肝), heart(心), spleen(脾), kidney(腎) and gallbladder(膽). Among them, liver(肝), kidney(腎) and spleen(脾) were important. The herbal medicines used in ADHD had the effects of spirit-calming(安神), orifices-opening(開竅), Eumyang-balance(陰陽平衡). And acupuncture therapy, ear-acupuncture therapy and dietary treatment, etc. were used in the treatment of ADHD. We expect that this review about ADHD in TCM help the clinical study of ADHD in Korean Medicine.

Objective:Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD) is the most common childhood psychiatric disorder, affecting 3-5% of school-aged children. Although the biological basis of ADHD is unknown, family studies provide strong evidence that ADHD has a genetic basis. Recent genetic studies have suggested associations between ADHD and serotonin 1B(5HT1B) receptor gene G861C polymorphism. The aim of this study is to test for the association between ADHD and 5HT1B receptor gene G861C polymorphism in Korean population. Method:We processed DNA extraction and genotyping. 106 Korean children with ADHD and their parents were analyzed using the transmission disequilibrium test(TDT) and haplotype-based haplotype relative risk (HHRR). And the ADHD children were compared with 212 age and gender matched normal controls. Results:There was no statistical difference of distributions between ADHD cases and controls. We did not observe any preferential transmission of alleles of 5HT1B receptor gene G861C polymorphism in ADHD. Conclusions:Though there is the possibility of failing to detect small genetic effects, our results show no evidence of an association between ADHD and 5HT1B receptor gene G861C polymorphism in the Korean population and indicate that it is unlikely that the 5HT1B receptor is implicated in the susceptibility to ADHD.

Objectives: The study aimed to identify the characteristics of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) that was not diagnosed in childhood or adolescence, but only in adulthood. Methods: The characteristics of patients diagnosed with ADHD in adulthood were compared with those of patients diagnosed in childhood were assessed via a retrospective review of the medical records at one university hospital from 2005 to 2013. If the age at which they were confirmed as having ADHD was less than 19 years old, they were grouped as childhood-diagnosed group (CD); if they were 19 years old or more, they were grouped as adulthood-diagnosed group (AD). Results: The CD and AD included 50 (46.3%) and 58 (53.7%) patients, respectively. Inattention was the most common symptom in both groups. Behavioral and emotional problems were the second most frequent symptoms in the CD and AD, respectively. The intelligent quotient was significantly higher in the AD than in the CD. The most common comorbidity was depression in the CD and personality disorder in the AD. The most common reason for visiting the hospital was referral by acquaintances in the CD and media coverage in the AD. Conclusion: Clinicians should put ADHD on the index of suspicion when they examine adults with various psychiatric symptoms, because the diagnosis of ADHD might have been missed in childhood and the symptoms of ADHD might have changed as they grew up.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to examine the association of exposures to heavy metals with positive diagnosis for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and Tourette's syndrome (TS). Methods : Study participants included 27 children diagnosed with ADHD ($9.9{\pm}2.9$ years of age), 21 diagnosed with Tourette's disorder ($10.7{\pm}2.2$ years of age), and 45 normal control children ($9.6{\pm}0.5$ years of age). A Perkin-Elmer mass spectrometer was used to measure the concentrations of 5 heavy metals (Pb, Cd, U, Be, Hg) in hair samples obtained from each participant. Each heavy metal concentration was compared among the groups by use of a Kruskal-Wallis test. Results : The levels of lead (p=.006) and cadmium (p=.037) observed in the hair of children diagnosed with ADHD were significantly higher than those found in the control subjects. There were no significant differences observed for heavy metal levels when comparing TS and control subjects. Conclusion : We confirmed that lead exposure is a risk factor for ADHD. We also identified that cadmium may be a new candidate risk factor for manifestation of ADHD. We did not find an association between heavy metals and manifestation of TS.

주의력결핍과잉활동장애는 부주의성, 충동성, 과잉운동증과 이차적인 학습부진을 주요증상으로 하는 질환으로 전학령기 아동의 3-5%정도가 이런 문제를 보이고 있다. 또한 ADHD는 행위장애, 정동장애, 불안장애, 반사회적 인격장애 등 다른 질환과 공존하는 경우가 많이 있다. 전통적인 진단방법은 시간과 경비가 많이 들고, 아동의 증상이 일관성있게 나타나지 않아 진찰실과 같은 상황에서는 과소평가되기 쉬운 단점이 있어, 객관적인 행동평가 방법과 시간과 경비가 적게 소요되면서 장애를 정확히 측정할 수 있는 도구의 개발이 필요하다고 하겠다. 이에 저자는 1987년 Edelbrock에 의해 개발되어 미국내에서 이미 신뢰도와 타당도가 입증된 소아기 집중력 문제척도(CAP scale)의 한국형을 개발하여 신뢰도와 타당도를 검증하고, 한국실정에서 ADHD를 선별할 수 있는 평가도구로 적합한지 여부와 ADHD연구목적에 사용할 수 있는지를 알아보고자 본연구를 시행하였다. 대상은 환자군 98명과 정상대조군 98명으로 하였으며, 진단은 DSM-IV의 기준에 근거하였다. 문항번역은 2인의 신경정신과 전문의에 의해서 이루어졌으며, 혼동이 있는 용어는 피하여 완성하였다. 정상 대조군에서 과잉운동점수이외에 남녀간의 점수차이는 없었으며, 환자군에서도 남녀간의 점수차이는 없었다. 감별타당도에서는 환자군이 대조군보다 각 소척도 및 전체점수에서 모두 높게 나타났으며, 본교실에서 한국형을 개발하여 신뢰도와 타당도를 입증한 ADDES­HV척도와의 공존타당도 검사에서는 환자군에서 0.85, 대조군에서 0.73의 상관계수를 얻었다. 소척도에서 문항간의 내적일치도는 모두 0.4이상으로 나타났으며, 주의산만 소척도와 과잉운동 소척도의 Cronbach의 ${\alpha}$는 각각 0.91, 0.89였다. 검사-재검사 신뢰도에서 주의산만 계수는 0.83, 과잉운동 계수는 0.70, 전체점수의 계수는 0.80으로 모두 만족할 만한 신뢰도 계수를 나타내 안정성이 입증되었다. 판별력 검증에서 정상대조군은 88.9%에서 정상으로, 환자군은 97.9%에서 환자군으로 판별되어 전체판별력이 93.4%로 나타났으며, Cmax 공식을 적용했을 때 86.8%의 판별력의 개선율을 보였다. Eigenvalue 1 이상을 요인추출의 기준으로 삼아 Varimax회전시켜본 결과 4개의 요인이 나왔으며, 각각 산만성요인, 과잉활동요인, 충동성요인, 학습장애요인으로 명명하였다. 본 연구의 결과에서 본 것처럼 ADHD의 독립된 평가도구인 CAP척도의 한국형이 한국인의 ADHD를 평가하기 위한 도구로서 신뢰도와 타당도가 입증되었으며, 향후 ADHD에 관한 연구에 있어서 기여하는 바가 크다고 기대된다.

Purpose: This study was a meta-analysis designed to identify effects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) interventions in alleviating main symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) among school-aged children in Korea. Methods: Examination of several databases including Research Information Sharing Service, Korean Studies Information Service System, Data Base Periodical Information Academic and hand-searched article references, resulted in identification of 1,298 studies done between 2000 and 2013 of which 21 met the inclusion criteria. Comprehensive Meta-Analysis version 2.0 was used to analyze effect sizes, explore possible causes of heterogeneity, and check publication bias with a funnel plot and its trim-and-fill analysis. Results: Overall effect size of CBT intervention was large (g=1.08) along with each outcome of self-control (g=1.26), lack of attention (g=1.02), social skills (g=0.92), and hyperactivity (g=0.92). For heterogeneity, moderator analysis was performed, but no significant differences were found between the RCT (Randomized Controlled Trials) group and the NRCT (Non RCT) group. Also, meta-regression was performed using sample size, number of sessions, and length of session as predictors, but no statistically significant moderators were found. Finally, a funnel plot along with trim-and-fill analysis was produced to check for publication bias, but no significant bias was detected. Conclusion: Based on these findings, there is clear evidence that CBT intervention has significant positive effects on the main symptoms of school-aged children suffering ADHD. Further research is needed to target diverse age groups with ADHD along with more RCT studies to improve the effectiveness of the CBT intervention.

Objectives: Although aggressive behavior in children and adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has previously shown correlations with hyperactivity/impulsivity, few studies have examined its association with inattention or the effect of working memory on aggressive behavior. This study aimed to assess the relationship between inattention and aggressive behavior and the effect of working memory on the relationship between inattention and aggressive behavior in children and adolescents with ADHD. Methods: Thirty-one children and 26 adolescents with ADHD were retrospectively investigated. The subjects completed the Korean Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Fourth Edition (K-WISC-IV), the Korean Child Behavior Checklist (K-CBCL), and the Korean Children's Depression Inventory (CDI). Results: Inattention was positively correlated with aggressive behavior in children and adolescents with ADHD and working memory showed an insignificant correlation. However, working memory had a significant moderating effect on aggressive behavior by interacting with inattention. The moderating effect of working memory manifested when the working memory index score on the K-WISC-IV was 73.5 points or higher, and it had a significant effect on aggressive behavior. Conclusion: This study shows that the severity of inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity should be addressed to provide appropriate treatment to children and adolescents with ADHD who exhibit aggressive behavior.
