This study examines the effects of maternal psychological distress and the Intimate partner violence (IPV) to which mothers are exposed on treatment adherence. 55 mothers of children diagnosed with ADHD and 51 mothers of healthy children were included in the study. Psychological distress and IPV were greater in the mothers of children with ADHD than in those of healthy children. Greater IPV was determined in the low treatment adherence group among the mothers of children with ADHD than in the moderate-high adherence. Holistic approaches in ADHD in which the mother's mental health is included can increase adherence to treatment.
