TRANSTORNO DE DÉFICIT DE ATENÇÃO E HIPERATIVIDADE: OS IMPACTOS NA DINÂMICA FAMILIAR

Abstract

This study aimed to understand the impacts of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) on family dynamics, considering emotional, social, educational, and inclusive aspects related to the daily lives of children and adolescents diagnosed with the disorder. It is a qualitative, exploratory study developed through a literature review of national academic databases, analyzing publications from 2007 to 2025. The results show that ADHD transcends the individual clinical dimension, significantly affecting family relationships, the organization of routines, and the emotional well-being of caregivers. It was observed that families of children and adolescents with ADHD frequently face emotional overload, family conflicts, school difficulties, and processes of social stigmatization. Furthermore, studies indicate that the absence of institutional support and inclusive pedagogical practices amplifies the challenges experienced by families. Conversely, the literature highlights that support networks, multidisciplinary interventions, dialogue between family and school, and parenting strategies based on acceptance and the organization of routines contribute to minimizing the impacts of the disorder. It is concluded that the understanding of ADHD should be broad and humanized, considering not only the symptoms but also the family and educational demands involved in the inclusion and care process.
