This isnt something for home grown remedies. Could be something as simple as a hyperactive pre-teen .. but also could be a variety of ADD, ADHD or Bi-Polar .. The best most pediatricians will do is recommend a specialist .. most likely a child psychologist that can professionally test and diagnose the individual. And, unfortunately, it is very difficult to find a very good one.. The default answers are Ritalin and adderall . which could worsen the situation if mis diagnosed .. How do I know ?? My wife and I took our son on this journey, and it lasted more than a decade.. If you have time and would like to hear some details, PM me, and I'm sure she would be willing to share the story, which has a very happy result ..
