    Abstract

    The severity of ADHD is directly proportional to the social isolation effects implemented to stop the spread of coronavirus disease. This led to series of complications in patients dealing with ADHD, causing school delays. We present a case of an adolescent male suffering from ADHD, whose quality of life is severely decreased after the implementation of social isolation and closure of schools and colleges.
