O transtorno do déficit de atenção e hiperatividade infantil e a reorganização da dinâmica familiar

Abstract

This study aims to present the implications of the diagnosis of Childhood Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) on family reorganization, considering emotional, relational, and organizational aspects. The research was based on a literature review of studies published between 2015 and 2025 addressing the impact of ADHD on family dynamics. Results show that the diagnosis triggers significant transformations within the family system, generating feelings of overload, stress, and emotional ambivalence among caregivers. Family relationships often become tense and marked by communication difficulties, requiring greater dialogue and shared responsibility. Organizationally, the family routine undergoes meaningful adaptations, demanding task redistribution and more structured management strategies. It is concluded that ADHD should not be viewed as an individual phenomenon but as a relational process that induces structural and emotional changes in the family. Strengthening emotional support and psychoeducation emerges as essential factors to promote balance and healthy family development.
