What Causes Abnormal Behavior In Condition Like ADHD?

my 11 y.o. grandson/son is pulling out his hair and has a very noticeable bald spot. He is also hyper sexual --he has erections most of his waking hours and likes to call attention to it. We have had him since he was 2 and he is being treated for ADHD; anxiety; ODD; PTSD; neglect, etc. The pulling out of hair is new and I m at a loss.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. The conditions you are mentioning here are purely of chronic mental disorder. The child is showing very complicated mental health pattern which may need prolonged psychiatric treatment and care giving. Trichotillomania is an impulse disorder characterized by the compulsive urge to pull out one's hair, leading to noticeable hair loss and balding, distress. He is also showing attention seeking disorder. Multiple mental disorders are present and only a psychiatrist will be able to judge and diagnose and treat. Please do not beat the bush and work constantly with the psychiatrist.
