Purpose: Disorders in managerial functions are quite common in the clinic of attention deficiency hyperactivity disorder (DEHB). Current studies suggest that common mechanisms in obesity and patophysiology of ADHD may be associated with impuls control and managerial functions. This study aims to compare the managerial functions and levels of self-respect of children and adolescents with overweight/obesity and not diagnosed with ADHD. It also aims to study the complex relationship between overweight/obesity, managerial functions, ADHD and self-respect in children and adolescents. Patients and Method: From March 2021 to April 2022 the average age of the sample included 71 adolescents who apply to the University of Gazi Children and Adolescent Psychiatry clinics who do not use any drug diagnosed with ADHD is 16.12±1.71 (age range = 12-18 years) years, with 71.83 percent of men. Participants have been given the Reserve Measurement of Behavioral Assessment (Mother's Father's Form), the Rosenberg Identity Respect Measurement and Conners Mother's Father's Rating Measurement- Updated Short Form. Results: ADHD diagnosed in adolescents has been found that hyperactivity symptoms and work memory function are the most important contributors to self-respect. Additionally, overweight/obesity status compared to ADHD adolescents, there was a group difference in working memory and planning/organizing functions. But there was no difference between the groups in terms of self-respect and the violence of the ADHD. The result: When the results of our study are evaluated, it shows that the work memory and the severity of the hyperactivity signs can play an important role in self-respect of ADHD adolescents. Overweight/obesity status depends on ADHD diagnosed in adolescents self-respect and ADHD clinic differences are not identified while differences in work memory and planning/organizing skills are determined to indicate that managing functions in ADHD play a critical role for overweight/obesity.
