What Causes A Persistent Bruise On The Head Of A Child?

Can a fall causing a lump or bruise on the head be cause of ADHD? The child fell down bout 10 or 12 steps and landed on his head when he was a toddler and is nine years old now. He has been treated for OCD by a pediatrician and has not improved with Medes. Pediatrician recommended he see a psychiatrist.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, that child might be suffering from psychiatric illness like ADHD or behavioral impairment etc.
So better to take him to child psychiatrist.
Get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in his life and start working on its solution.
He may need some psychiatric drugs too.
Don't worry with proper treatment he will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to that child. Thanks.
