I went through your details. Please do understand, these mental disorders are not age related. ADHD can be diagnosed usually at teen age. Sometimes even before that. Successful diagnosis and treatment is the key for cure. Do not attempt diagnosis online because only experienced psychiatrists / psychologists are able to diagnose differential. Differential diagnosis is very important in psychiatry because many symptoms overlap with many mental disorders. Work with her psychiatrist.
