Abstract
Objective: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, which is observed in 3–7% of the children at school age. It is associated with significant disruption in developmental, cognitive, and academic domains. In recent years, intensive research has been conducted on the topic of Woman’s Mental Health. Psychiatric disorders significantly affect individual and interpersonal relationships at all stages of individual’s life. Methods: 50 patients aged 11–17 years who were diagnosed as ADHD were enrolled to the study. Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Age Children-Present and Lifetime version (K-SADS-PL) interview and Wechsler Intelligence Scale for ChildrenRevised (WISC-R), Relationship Scale Questionnaire (RSQ), and Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (IPPA) were administered to all cases included.

It was found that mean score for attachment to mother was 69, whereas mean score for attachment to father was 66. In peer attachment, highest mean score was found for disinterested attachment by 4.41±1.19. When attachment was assessed by maternal psychiatric disorder status, no significant differences were found in parent attachment, while a significant difference was found in favor of obsessive attachment to peer (p<0.05). Conclusions: In our study, mean…
