The methodology was quantitative and survey based. Data is collected from two selected college students and sample size was 327. Correlation results shows that there is positive and significant relationship between ADHD and psychological problems.

The other variable is hyperactivity/impulsivity which is also positively associated with internet addiction (r=.34, P<.05); depression (r=.29, P<.05); anxiety (r=.29, P<.05); stress (r=.27, P<.05); and social phobia (r=.26, P<.05). The canonical correlation results shows that attention deficit disorder is associated with dependent variables including internet addiction (Fstat=6.09, P<.05); depression (Fstat=4.78, P<.05); anxiety (Fstat=2.89, P<.05); stress (Fstat=7.92, P<.05); and social phobia (Fstat=4.94, P<.05). Similarly, hyperactivity/impulsivity is positively associated with internet addiction (Fstat=8.27, P<.05); depression (Fstat=5.30, P<.05); anxiety (Fstat=6.69, P<.05); stress (Fstat=20.61, P<.05); and social phobia (Fstat=3.51, P<.05).
