Clinic, etiology and pathogenesis of comorbid conditions in children with hyperkinetic disorder by R. F. Gasanov, I. V. Makarov, D. A. Emelina, E. S. Prokhorenko

“…Hyperkinetic disorder (HD) refers to chronic non-processual diseases, including among the main symptoms impaired attention, impulsivity and hyperactivity, and corresponds to a mixed version of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).Currently, the etiology of HD is considered as a polyetiological concept, since the formation of any chronic disorder involves, first of all, biological factors, including hereditary mechanisms, nonspecific “trigger” factors and factors of early brain damage that “support” the course of the diseaseand ensuring the uniqueness of each clinical case.The cause of HD is a genetically determined pathogenetic mechanism realized by the dysfunction of monoamine systems, in most cases complicated by minimal residual organic lesions of the central nervous system. …”
