La comorbidità psicopatologica e la continuità con gli altri disturbi settoriali dello sviluppo

This paper proposes a critical review about the co-occurrence among Specific Learning Disorders (Dyslexia, Dysortographia, Dyscalculia), between them and other Developmental Disorders (Language and Motor Disorders) and the cooccurrence between Learning and Psychopathological Disorders (ADHD, Anxious, Depressive and Conduct Disorders). Results, though often contradictory, shows how this co-occurrence is linked to common (general or specific) genetic factors, modulated in different measure by environmental factors. Heterogeneity and complexity of developmental disorders highlight the need of a multidisciplinary diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, run under a developmental and dynamic frame.
