ADHD, ODD and the intersectionality between psychiatry and the rights of children and adolescents: a case report

Historically, actions to promote the health of children and adolescents in the country were delegated to EDUCATIONAL and SOCIAL ASSISTANCE sectors.The integration of this policy within the SUS occurred with the creation of CAPS IJ (Center for Psychosocial Care for Children and Youth) to expand obligations in education and justice.In 2007, in Brazil there were only 86 CAPS IJ and with the advent of the policy to promote the mental health of children and adolescents, this number increased by 54 units (2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007), a number still insufficient due to the country's socio-cultural dimensions.The objective of this case report is to describe the longitudinal follow-up over approximately 12 months of follow-up of a comorbid case of ADHD and ODD, describing clinical assessment, approach methods, treatment and management, taking into account not only the therapeutic centered doctor, but also the importance of extra-hospital support in the treatment of this patient, but specifically of multidisciplinary, pedagogical teams, social service actors and protection of the rights of children and adolescents, represented here by the role of guardianship counselors and as the articulation between these agents and caregivers resulted in a positive outcome.
