Abstract

Objective. To study the effect of the cumulative adversity on the course of ADHD symptoms, associated problems and dysfunctionality of ADHD children. Method. 61 families of children with a clinical diagnosis of ADHD combined subtype were evaluated on two different times (Time I: mean age = 8.7; Time II: mean age = 11). We developed a personal risk index (high levels of ADHD symptoms, high number of associated problems, presence of oppositionism, stressful child characteristics and family history of ADHD), a family risk index (presence of mothers’ psychopathology, high parental stress and dysfunctional discipline style) and a total risk index. Results. The overall risk index significantly predicted symptoms of ADHD, comorbid problems and dysfunction in adolescence. The personal risk index was more related to future externalizing problems while family risk index was more related to the development of inattention symptoms. Conclusions. There is a cumulative adversity effect of family and personal factors that negatively influences the course of ADHD.
