Objective: To assess the prevalence of depression in mothers of children with ADHD and to explore the factors affecting depression in these mothers. Method: Samples consisted of 50 mothers of children who were diagnosed ADHD by DSM-IV criteria and treated at psychiatric out-patient unit at Ramathibodi Hospital from June 2001 to January 2002. The instruments used comprised the designed questionnaire for collecting demographic data of mothers and their children, the Thai Depression Inventory (TDI) and the Children Depression Inventory (CDI) for assessing depression in mothers and their children. Data analysis was computed by multiple logistic regression to determine the relationship between depression in mothers of children with ADHD and the factors associated with depression. Result: The findings revealed that 17 mothers (34.70%) had depression. In this group 15 mothers (30.62%) had mild and moderate depression and 2 mothers (4.08%) had severe depression. Two factors relating to maternal depression were the duration after child being diagnosed more than 12 months (OR=3.34, p=0.09) and the marital status of mothers which were separation and widowhood (OR=7.33, p=0.10). Conclusion: routine screening for maternal depression and early intervention in mothers of children with ADHD need to be considered especially the duration after being diagnosed (more than 12 months) and the marital status of mothers (separation and widowhood).
