In general, recommendations for the DSM-V and future diagnoses of psychiatric disorders include a dimensional approach to complement the standard categorical approach. For the assessment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), dimensional approaches to supplement the rigid categorical approach of the DSM-IV abound. Historically, dimensions based on severity of symptoms of ADHD and severity of general psychopathology have been used. General dimensional approaches described by a workgroup organized by the American Psychiatric Association are reviewed to provide background and context for a discussion of old and new dimensional approaches to complement future categorical diagnosis of ADHD in the DSM-V.
一般来说，《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第五版（DSM-V）和未来精神障碍诊断的建议包括采用维度方法来补充标准的分类方法。对于注意缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）的评估，有许多维度方法可以补充 DSM-IV 中刻板的分类方法。从历史上看，一直使用基于 ADHD 症状严重程度和一般精神病理学严重程度的维度。本文回顾了由美国精神病学协会组织的工作组描述的一般维度方法，为讨论补充 DSM-V 中 ADHD 未来分类诊断的新旧维度方法提供背景和上下文。
