Usuually epilepsy and adhd go hand inbhand so have to be very carefull about treating your chikd. The drugs used to treat ADHD can precipitate seizure so should be given carefully, so you nees to take opinion of both pediatric neurologist and chid psychiatrist. MRI may not be abnormal in case of seizures so EEG may shiw abnormality, bases on clinical evaluation child can be made siezure free which can in turn help her ADHD to sertle down
