Background: Studies on quality of life, mental health and anxiety and depression in parents of children with attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder have been conducted. But the main issue is that research comparing emotional well-being, marital intimacy, and quality of life of mothers of children with ADHD with mothers of normal children has been neglected.
