Summary

Early onset, high prevalence and persistence, as well as developmental comorbidity make affective dysregulation (AD) in childhood one of the most psychosocially impairing and cost-intensive mental conditions. Despite continuous research, there is still a substantial need for optimization of individual treatment strategies in order to improve outcomes and to reduce subjective and economic burden. Here we want to study the change of psychopathological markers of affective dysregulation (AD) treatment of affective dysregulation (AD) in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) treated by Guanfacine. These children did not respond to methylphenidate treatment. The results will allow the generation of a hypothesis for a randomized clinical trial to investigate the efficacy and safety of Guanfacine for the treatment of AD in children.
