This problem is corrected with the help of some medicines and counselling and psychotherapy of child and parents.Generally parents does'nt want to give medicines,because they does'nt want to label his child as a psychiatric patient,but the medicines are just for short periods and are necessary to control the hyperactivity for proper counselling and for better result.Generally there are no specific sideeffects of drugs.
