Abstract

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disease characterized by excess inattention, hyperactive and impulsive condition which is persistent, detrimental in numerous situations. ADHD is inherited in 74% of cases. ADHD causes deterioration in child health-related quality of life by triggering other problems like anxiety and depression. Factors such as growth, exercise, attending school and academic performance, and functional progression are crucial components for assessing the quality of life in children. There are many tools have been used to evaluate HRQOL in children such as the pediatric quality of life inventory and child health questionnaire. Multiple HRQL areas are significantly affected by ADHD in children and adolescents. Parents of children with ADHD reported higher emotional-behavioral role function, behavior, mental health, and self-esteem difficulties. In addition, the issues of children with ADHD had a major influence on the mental health of the parents and their ability to satisfy their own needs, as well as on family activities and family cohesiveness
