Sixty-five students with and 65 without ADHD were sampled. The subjects were selected through a cluster sampling. The instruments used in the study were Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Inventory and Asher Loneliness Scale. We used independent t-test to analyze the data. Results: The results of this study showed that adolescents with ADHD experienced bigger amount of loneliness. Conclusion: Accordingly, we conclude that teens who feel lonely in attention deficit disorder/ hyperactivity are more common in adolescents. Therefore, taking advantage of psychological services to help these children is approved.
