Study finds how COVID-19 disrupted lives of families with kids who have ADHD PLOSONE
Frequency summary of main themes and subthemes of barriers to positive mental health for families during the COVID-19 pandemic.Parents described the lack of routine as the most significant barrier to positive mental health for themselves and their children with ADHD. This theme included factors such as a lack of extra-curricular activities, minimal school involvement, and being stuck at home.
[The biggest barrier…] that’s easy, social interaction! Because we can’t see our coworkers and other extended family members, when we go for walks, we’re more likely to stop and say hello to a neighbour and make friends with other kids down the road, and things like that. So, in the last six months, we’ve transitioned our social interactions in a way. While these [new] interactions are lovely, they are not the same as a warm body sitting beside you and having a cup of tea.
With schools opening, a few parents are [just sending their kids and hoping for the best]. But with my kid, I can’t [do that]. First, I’m really worried [in general about the virus]. And if [my son] is to get sick, it will be a big alarm in my house. So, it’s been the most stressful thing. I [recently] had a new baby in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic too. And with [my son who has ADHD], it’s like having 10 babies, plus the new baby. .
