Project Details
Description
Some conditions have been described, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), that present with a deficit in emotional recognition that impacts social function.
However, there is currently controversial evidence as to whether this is due to a primary or secondary deficit in patients with ADHD, as the causality of this in relation to the disorder has not yet been identified.
Additionally, the deficit in facial emotional recognition has not been compared throughout all stages of development, covering childhood, adolescence, and adulthood.
It is proposed to determine the recognition of emotions through facial expression in patients with ADHD to evaluate if there is a primary deficit in emotional recognition.
