This thesis investigates the experiences of mothers with children diagnosed with ADHD from the psychoanalytic framework. Qualitative research was performed, through interviews, with ten women with children aging from 7 to 12. The results were analyzed according to the method of content analysis. From this analysis, five categories emerged: mothers perception of children s early childhood; mothers perceptions of the symptoms and the diagnosis of ADHD of their children; recognition of similar symptomatology between the child and family members; mothers perceptions of fathers participation in children s care; and, finally, mothers perceptions of the COVID-19 pandemic repercussions on their children. The results and their analysis are presented in four articles. In the first one, mothers perceptions of the early childhood of children diagnosed with ADHD is investigated. The data indicate that it is possible to establish a relationship between difficulties experienced in early childhood and ADHD symptoms. In the second article, the perception of mothers about their children s symptoms and their diagnosis is investigated. It is observed that the identification of their children s difficulties causes distress to the mothers, representing a narcissistic wound and triggering feelings of guilt, which provoke a greater tendency to resort to biological explanations, despite the presence of a less reductionist perspective. In the third article, the relationship between ADHD, generational psychic transmission and fatherhood from mothers viewpoint is investigated. A relationship between ADHD, psychic transmission and fatherhood is verified, since, in its majority, the symptoms of the children are also identified in male figures in the family. In the fourth article, mothers perception regarding the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic on their children diagnosed with ADHD is investigated. A negative effect of this period on their children is verified, and a relationship between the lack of ability of mothers to respond in a creative manner during this period of crisis to the maintenance of their faculties is noted. These difficulties seem to be intertwined with internal and early problems, which, in turn, may be related to issues and symptoms of their children. Overall, the experiences of the mothers allowed us to establish a connection between various aspects involving the subject studied, such as early childhood, family, school and social issues, among other things, and the symptoms of ADHD. It was concluded that, from a psychoanalytic stance, it is possible to investigate in a wider form the repercussions of the diverse environmental and experiential difficulties that influence child development and they can be expressed through the symptoms in question.
