Abstract
Attention-DeficitHyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent childhood neurodevelopmental disorder that significantly impacts a child's psychosocial functioning, including academic, social, and emotional adjustment. Children with ADHD often exhibit behaviors such as excessive talking, restlessness, and difficulty adhering to social norms, which are perceived as disruptive. This study aimed to investigate the psychological distress experienced by parents of children with ADHD. The findings revealed no correlation between maternal stress and child behavior. Furthermore, no statistically significant relationship was observed between the ADHD Rating Scale IV and Conners Parent Rating Scale, highlighting the complex interplay of factors influencing parental stress. These insights underscore the need for tailored interventions to support families of children with ADHD.Keywords: ADHD, psychological distress, parental stress, child behavior, ADHD Rating Scale IV, Conners Parent Rating Scale.
