Abstract: 
The researcher has gathered data from 275 students in the fourth, fifth, and sixth classes. It was discovered that the children with ADHD had behavioural problems and were troublesome. These children, who were diagnosed with "oppositional defiant, conduct and anxiety disorder," were 10, 11, and 12 years old. Boys are more likely to experience behaviour problems linked to conduct disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, and anxiety than girls. Only one to two percent of girls in schools experienced similar problems. The results of the current study show a substantial difference in the two behavioural groups of children with ADHD in terms of their "Anxiety or depression" and "Oppositional-Defiant, Conduct Disorder."
When it comes to "Oppositional-Defiant & Conduct Disorder" and "Anxiety or depression," the boys exhibit greater consistency, while the girl children only exhibit one of the two behavioural disorders. Parental behaviour management therapy and advice and counselling for children with problematic behaviour are the recommended interventions. These steps are crucial in helping the children in schools to overcome their behavioural problems.
