SZYMANSKI, Maria Lidia Sica  e  TEIXEIRA, Andrise. When the complaint is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity DisorderWhen the complaint is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2022, vol.28, e40200.  Epub 23-Fev-2022. ISSN 1981-0431.  https://doi.org/10.26512/lc28202240200.

The Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) emerges as a justification for problems in schooling, often resulting from a quick and superficial evaluation. The variation in the number of ADHD reports between 2015 and 2020 in public schools was investigated, showing an increase of 594%. The biologizing conception of ADHD is questioned, the consequence of which is medicalization. It proposes the development of attention and voluntary control of behavior in the set of psychological functions. The importance of planning based on the cultural-historical conception is pointed out, as well as the urgency of public investment in teacher qualification.
