According to Morris-Rosendahl and Crocq (2020), the functioning of the brain and nervous
system is typically related to conditions such as neurodevelopmental disorders. Children with
neurodevelopmental diseases include such like ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, intellectual
disability (also known as mental retardation), behavioral disorders, cerebral palsy, visual and
auditory impairments. With neurodevelopmental problems, children's language and speech,
motor skills, behavior, memory, learning, and other brain functions may all be impacted. As
Olivier, Gressens and Barthelemy (2023) puts it, the DSM-5 introduced the category of
neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) as a general category of illnesses. The chapter "Disorders
typically first diagnosed in infancy, childhood, or adolescence" was replaced by this new section.
Thus, it is now understood that neurodevelopment is a process that occurs from embryonic
development to adolescence and even maturity.

CC (chief complaint): My daughter struggles to focus, pay attention, remember things, and
keep track of things.
HPI: In the clinic with her mother for a mental evaluation is S. H., an 11-year-old African
American female. The patient acknowledged throughout the interview that she had forgotten her
task. Due to the fact that her daughter consistently forgets her schoolwork, Mum suggested that
teachers email her a list of tasks on her cell phone. Since the patient's behavior began in
kindergarten, Mum has supported it. According to the patient, she doesn't frequently sit still in
her chair at school. The interview session was the longest she had ever seen her daughter sit still
in a chair, according to her mother.
According to S.'s mother, if she really appreciates the book she is reading, she can only sit still
for five minutes. The patient admitted that she had trouble understanding the literature she reads.
She routinely loses her books and pencils at home. She lost the necklace that her grandmother
had given her as well. The patient recently left her book on the school bus, according to the
patient's mother. The patient admitted that she sometimes loses her patience with her teachers but
couldn't remember if she was given any instructions. She encouraged daydreaming about
returning home and playing with their dog. She agrees with occasionally having bad days and
missing her mum. The patient acknowledged that she makes a lot of mistakes when working on
her task. Mum stated that when the patient was younger, she frequently brought S. to the zoo, but
the patient insisted that she always put her hands in the little bars where the animals could bite
her and insisted on bouncing against the wall for insignificant reasons. Despite the patient's
extreme politeness, her teacher recognized that she found it difficult to wait for her turn. S.
struggles to eat her meals while seated and sleeps 9 to 10 hours at night, according to her mother.
Her personal care provider believes that S. is not obtaining the proper nourishment.
