Understanding the Link Between ADHD and Aggression in Children
Garima
Abstract
This research explores the relationship between Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and aggression in children, focusing on its prevalence, symptoms, and associated conditions through the lens of the biopsychosocial model. ADHD, one of the most common psychiatric disorders diagnosed in children, is characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. This study highlights the significant role of genetic, neurological, behavioral, and environmental factors in understanding ADHD's etiology. Additionally, it examines the correlation between ADHD and aggressive behaviors, which often complicates social interactions and academic performance. Data were collected from a sample of 50 boys, aged 9-16 years, using ADHD and aggression scales. Results show a significant correlation between ADHD subtypes, particularly hyperactivity and inattention, and aggression levels, suggesting these factors may contribute to behavioral challenges. Furthermore, gender differences were evident, with male children showing higher levels of ADHD and aggression compared to females. The study emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and multifaceted interventions, integrating biological, cognitive, and environmental strategies to support children with ADHD.
