The picture is of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder(ADHD). However, many a times its also combined with autism or mental retardation.
Next Steps
Consult a psychiatrist. Your child might require medications and trust me, if it's ADHD, it's easily controllable and curable by medications. Also, Get an IQ assessment of your child done to rule out mental retardation (possibility is minimal)
