Hi, thanks for asking.
I can understand your concerns.
I would like to know which medication he is taking for ADHD. Medications for ADHD can cause mood swings and anxiety. You may talk to your prescribing doctor and try to change his medicines and put him on non stimulant medications.
Also you can talk to his teacher and discuss this problem with her so that your son does not have to lie about it.
I hope I have helped you.
Thank you.
I find this answer helpful
