Abstract

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder Families
The purpose of this literature review was to examine the current literature on the impact of child and adolescent ADHD on the family unit. The results of the literature review indicate an increased rate of family dysfunction when a child or adolescent has ADHD. A gap in the literature reviewed indicated the need for research tailored towards interventions that the family Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner can implement when working with this unique population.
