Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
Lack of concentration may be due to ADHD, depression or anxiety disorder. In his case, chances of ADHD is high and he would improve with attentrol. There is no need to give risdone for lack of concentration. May be his doctor has prescribed that drug due to behavioral issues, but that may be the part of ADHD. Rest, you can discuss with his psychiatrist. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
