This study examines the child-rearing practices of mothers of children afflicted with ADHD and the consequential stresses, depression, and self-worth created by the problematic behaviors of their children. The purpose of this study is to raise awareness of the severity of the psychologically problematic situation faced by mothers of ADHD-affected children. And by thoroughly examining and analyzing this situation, this study reveals that efficient parenting should be approached on a social-psychological level rather than a personal level. First, observation and counseling has been conducted on 19 boys and 10 girls, between the ages of 7 and 8 who had been diagnosed with ADHD (using the ADHD assessment rate for children (CATRS)) before the age of 6 and have been on medicine for at least 1 year, 29 mothers, between the ages of 40 to 45, of ADHD-affected children, and finally 36 mothers, between the ages of 40 to 45, with unaffected children between the ages of 7 and 8 for a period of six months. An examination that was created based on Baumrind’s study on parenting style typologies(1991) by Goyetche was used for the parenting styles of the mothers. It was found that more than 80% of the mothers who participated in the study were parenting in a very authoritarian and excessively controlled method in respect to the symptoms of ADHD in children. The depression rate was calculated using Beck’s Depression Inventory:BDI, the parenting stress rate was found using the Parenting Stress Index/Short Form: PSI/SF(1997) and the Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale(SRES) was used for the self esteem rate. The results show that mothers of children diagnosed with ADHD had levels of stress, depression, and self-esteem significantly different compared to mothers of children with no ADHD.
