Consult psychotherapist

These are classic features of neurodevelopmental disorders, particularly ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder). His emotional swings and sensitivity suggest possible emotional dysregulation, which is common in ADHD but can overlap with Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) or mood disorders.

I understand that your son has been struggling with focus, emotional regulation, and consistency for quite some time. This is understandably worrying for you as parents. From what you describe—being very active and easily distracted since childhood, difficulty following through with plans, forgetting instructions, shifting topics during conversations, and challenges in studies (especially math)—these can be signs of attention-related difficulties such as ADHD, though only a qualified professional after assessment can confirm that. His emotional responses and relationship challenges also suggest he may be feeling misunderstood or frustrated, which can add to the problem. It’s important to know that this is not about “fault” in the school or the child, but about understanding his unique learning and emotional needs. A psychological evaluation (cognitive and attention testing) to understand his strengths and difficulties better. Meanwhile, offering him structured routines, clear short instructions, and positive reinforcement for small achievements can help. His wish to pursue science shows motivation, and with the right support—academic accommodations, remedial help in math, and counseling—he can be guided toward a stream that suits both his interests and abilities.

Hi, ,Consult a clinical psychologist so that your son can be psychologically assessed

Hi, It seems your son has been showing signs of attention and behavioral challenges since childhood, which may be affecting his academic performance and relationships. His hyperactivity, difficulty following instructions, and tendency to deviate from topics could indicate underlying issues like ADHD or similar conditions. It's important to seek a professional evaluation from a mental health expert who can provide an accurate diagnosis and appropriate support. With proper guidance, patience, and intervention, he can develop better focus, behavior, and relationships, helping him succeed academically and personally.

From what you’ve shared, the child’s history of hyperactivity, distractibility, emotional shifts, and difficulty following through on plans could point toward attention-related or behavioral regulation challenges, possibly ADHD or a related condition. The best step forward is a detailed assessment by a child psychologist, who can evaluate attention span, learning style, emotional regulation, and any underlying issues. Early intervention, along with tailored learning strategies and emotional support, can make a big difference in both academics and relationships.
