Suggest Medication For Lack Of Memory And Disturbed Mind

I adopted a girl who is now 6 she has a problem with lieing. Very sexual towards boys and men. she has issues with her memory and has difficulty in retaining information. Her thinking process is scrambled. We tell her to do something she says ok and then does something different. She is sneaky and will wait for the right time where there is no one watching and do what she is not supposed to do. No matter how much time out spankings and even the award system doesn t seem to matter. We ask her questions ask her to repeat what we just told her and she does seem to understand but still continues to make a bad choice Her mom has ms and her father was homeless and I think he has the same problem with his thinking. No matter how many times we say something and she gets in trouble she still continues to do wrong does this make any sense to you

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

At this age, it would be early to say, she has any mental disorder. You can get her IQ assessment. That would help to understand her mental level in better sense. Sometime, due to low IQ, children do such kind of activity. In that case, you need to consult a child psychologist for IQ assessment and mental evaluation. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
