(1) Background: COVID-19 may deteriorate some aspects among individuals with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Although some positive aspects were reported during the pandemic, it remains unclear how COVID-19 qualitatively influences their living context; (2) Methods: this study employed interviews with four participants with ADHD during the declaration of emergency issued in Japan. The study was a part of ongoing coaching as a psychosocial intervention for ADHD, which was initiated long before the pandemic. The data were the answers to the question: “how are things going with participants during this pandemic?”. In a qualitative analysis, the researchers coded the data to identify different themes and sub-themes; (3) Results and Discussion: the qualitative data analysis yielded five themes: (1) Terrible feeling caused by frustration, stress, and anger; (2) Closeness due to the internal difficulties and conflict; (3) Deteriorating ADHD symptoms and executive function related matters; (4) Condition is the same as usual; and (5) Positive aspects associated with the self-lockdown. As a whole, these results show that the COVID-19 pandemic could be a factor in inducing psychological distress in the participants who adjust relatively better at work/school but did not do well at home before the pandemic; (4) Conclusions: this study indicates the need for special support for individuals with ADHD, especially those who originally had difficulties at home.

The aim of the present research is to find out the effect of role-playing on total self-concept score of students suffering from ADHD (attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder). Participants of this study were 120 children divided into two groups of 60. The first group included ADHD children, and the second group were normal children. The participants in the second group were randomly selected among the students of a primary school. The research instruments were ADHD Questionnaire (Tavakoli, 1380), Piers-Harris Children's Self-Concept, and Scale Role-playing scenarios & Clinical interview. The data gathered through the questionnaires were analyzed by the t-test. This is the indicator of a positive effect of role-playing on selfconcept of the students with or without ADHD.

Hyperactivity Disorder

Background: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder manifesting in early life. These children are more vulnerable to sexual abuse as victims and offenders. This is a case report of a teenager with previously undiagnosed ADHD presenting with an alleged act of sexual offending.Case report: According to the 14-year-old accused, he has engaged  in  penetrative  anal  intercourse  with  another schoolmate. that similar past incidents had involved a teenage malerelative and insertion of foreign bodies to his anus repeatedly by him. On assessment the accused had features of inattention, such as difficulty in sustaining attention, failing to finish work and features of impulsivity, such as difficulty waiting for his turn and intruding on others. He was diagnosed with ADHD according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental disorders (DSM 5) clinical criteria which were supported by the Sinhalese adaptation of the Swanson, Nolan and Pelham questionnaire. The assessment of the non-verbal intelligence was in the normal range, but his school performance was far below the average.Discussion:  Undiagnosed ADHD contributes to academic impairment and inappropriate sexual behaviour. It is possible that the described adolescent’s impulsiveness and inattention contributed to his academic failure and risky sexual behaviour. Early detection and proper management of this disorder may have reduced the risk of such behaviour in him.

Mental Health Issues

Foreign bodies are common in children. Ear, nose, gastrointestinal , vaginal, and rectal foreign bodies are all possible and may pose a challenge to the clinician. Children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism, or mental health issues are more likely to insert a foreign body into an orifice. Both organic and non-organic objects may be inserted. Most objects do not cause problems, but objects such as magnets, batteries, and long, sharp objects may result in significant adverse events. If one object is present, there may also be other objects in other locations, so a comprehensive evaluation must be conducted. This chapter reviews the clinical presentation, diagnostic options, and therapeutic choices for management.
