ICD-11 code : 6A05;
Preferred Label : Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder;
ICD-11 definition : Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is characterized by a persistent pattern
(at least 6 months) of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity, with onset during
the developmental period, typically early to mid-childhood. The degree of inattention
and hyperactivity-impulsivity is outside the limits of normal variation expected for
age and level of intellectual functioning and significantly interferes with academic,
occupational, or social functioning. Inattention refers to significant difficulty
in sustaining attention to tasks that do not provide a high level of stimulation or
frequent rewards, distractibility and problems with organization. Hyperactivity refers
to excessive motor activity and difficulties with remaining still, most evident in
structured situations that require behavioural self-control. Impulsivity is a tendency
to act in response to immediate stimuli, without deliberation or consideration of
the risks and consequences. The relative balance and the specific manifestations of
inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive characteristics varies across individuals, and
may change over the course of development. In order for a diagnosis of disorder the
behaviour pattern must be clearly observable in more than one setting.;
