Abstract
ADHD is a condition that leads to significant impairments in the most di-verse aspects of life from early years to adulthood. Early identification and diagnosis can allow adequate treatment and reduce its negative impact throughout life, especially on social relationships and academic learning. However, diagnosis up to 5 years of age still poses challenges. This work aims to present the state of the art on the theme and offers the possibility of assisting in this process as well as promoting due discussion and updating.
