DSM-V Criteria
Key Action Statement 2 (2011) To make a diagnosis of ADHD, the primary care clinician should determine that DSM-IV-TR (*now DSMV) have been met (including documentation of impairment in more than 1 major setting), and information should be obtained primarily from reports from parents or guardians, teachers, and other school and mental health clinicians involved in the child’s care. The primary care clinician should also rule out any alternative cause Quality of evidence B/strong recommendation
Criteria differences in key areas DSM-IV-TR DSM-V Age of onset of symptoms Before age 7 years Before age 12 years Symptoms vs. Impairment Impairment present in more than one setting Symptoms present in more than one setting Age-based criteria 6 of 9 symptoms regardless of age For ages 17 and older, 5 of 9 symptoms
DSM-V Criteria concerning the symptoms 9 symptoms listed under inattention and under hyperactive-impulsive Must be present for at least 6 months (noted in Vanderbilt) Must be inappropriate for developmental level For children up to age 16, need 6 of 9 symptoms in either group to meet criteria For individuals age 17 and older, need 5 of 9 symptoms in either group to meet criteria
Additional criteria Several inattentive or hyperactive-impulsive symptoms were present before age 12 years Several symptoms are present in 2 or more settings There is clear evidence that the symptoms interfere with, or reduce the quality of, social, school, or work functioning The symptoms do not happen only during the course of schizophrenia or other psychotic disorder. The symptoms are not better explained by another mental disorder (e.g. mood disorder, anxiety disorder, dissociative disorder, or a personality disorder).
