Yaşlılarda Dikkat Eksikliği ve Hiperaktivite Bozukluğu

Dikkat eksikliği hiperaktivite bozukluğu (DEHB), kalıtsal olarak geçebilen, çevresel faktörlerden etkilenen, çocukluk çağının en yaygın görülen nöropsikiyatrik sendromu olup, yetişkin çağda da devam edebilen ve hatta geriatrik popülasyonda görülebilen bir bozukluktur. Geriatrik popülasyonda kendini farklı semptomlarla gösterebilen, tanısı genelde göz ardı edilen DEHB, kimi zaman kendini demans ya da depresyon belirtileri ile de gösterebilmektedir. Yaşlı popülasyonda prevalansın %3-4 oranında olduğu düşünülmektedir. Henüz yaşlılara özgül DEHB tanı ölçütleri mevcut olmamakla birlikte DSM-5’de bulunan ölçütlerdenyararlanılarak tanı konulmaktadır. Görüntüleme ve nörofizyolojik yöntemlerden yararlanılsa da DEHB’ye yönelik özgül bir bulgu ya da görüntü yoktur. Frontal ve prefrontal alanlarda, gri cevher lezyonlarında bozukluklar manyetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRI) ile gösterilebilmektedir. DEHB patofizyolojisi tam olarak aydınlatılamamış olsa da geriatrik popülasyonda uyku bozukluklarından demansa kadar uzanan geniş bir spektrumda klinik özellikler gözlenmektedir. Dolayısıyla yaşlı bireylerde DEHB ayrıntılı bir şekilde incelenmeli ve yeni çalışmalarla hastalığa özgül tanı ölçütleri geliştirilmelidir çünkü mevcut literatürde belirtilen DEHB sıklığının gerçek yaşamdakinden çok daha az olduğu düşünülmektedir.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in the Elderly

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neuropsychiatric syndrome which is hereditarily inherited, affected by environmental factors, and most commonly seen in childhood. It is a disorder that can continue in adulthood and is seen even in the geriatric population. ADHD, which may manifest itself with different symptoms in the geriatric population and the diagnosis of which is often overlooked, may sometimes present itself with dementia or depressive symptoms. Its prevalence is thought to be 3-4% in the elderly population. However, the diagnostic criteria of the ADHD in the elderly population are not yet available and the diagnosis is made based on the criteria found in the DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health Disorders, 5th edition). Although some imaging and neurophysiological methods are utilized, there is no specific finding or image for ADHD. Defects in gray matter lesions in frontal and prefrontal areas can be demonstrated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Some researchers think that functional MRI will provide more promising results in the future. Although the pathophysiology of ADHD has not yet been fully elucidated, clinical features are observed in a wide spectrum ranging from sleep disorders to dementia in the geriatric population. Therefore, ADHD should be examined in detail in the elderly population and new diagnostic criteria should be developed for the disorder by new studies. Because it is thought that the frequency of ADHD in the current literature is much less than that in real life.
