description Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is perhaps one of the most diagnosed diseases today. A child only needs a little talent to draw attention through mischief to be diagnosed as hyperactive. This is because the conditions necessary to diagnose ADHD are the fastest and easiest way to explain disruptive behavior in certain troublesome children. Due to this fact, this article aims to reflect critically upon the diagnosis and intervention of ADHD, which should be multifactorial and psychopedagogical. Thus, children with this disorder would be allowed to achieve therapeutic goals according to their age, school, social dynamics and family framework, and they would perform better in these areas.
