Parents of children with ADHD more stressed overall

Parents of a child with ADHD (attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder) say the back-to-school period is more stressful than a job interview.

It has also emerged that day-to-day stress, such as a child running late for school or losing a school bag, is more stressful for parents of a child with ADHD.

Such parents also feel more stressed out because they are not spending enough time and attention with their other children.
