ABSTRACT
Background: Children and adolescents with Attention-Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are more susceptible to internet addiction. COVID-19 pandemic has forced them to carry out their schoolwork, social and leisure activities online. Prolonged use of the internet during this period would exacerbate their severity of ADHD and, at the same time, aggravates internet addiction susceptibility among these already high-risk individuals. Purpose: This literature aims to study the relationships between ADHD and internet addiction among children and adolescents with ADHD despite the COVID-19 pandemic.
