Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.
I understand your concern. But hyperactivity is a disorder of the mental make up of the kid and not a physical deformity of the brain. Some kids may respond to iron simply and some kids my need other medications like Atomoxetine. But what ever it is the kids needs a thorough psychological evaluation and may be after behavioural therapy it might get better. But usually hyperactivity kids have very good IQ and if their energy can be diverted to a vocational training or any art or sport they like they will do wonders. I suggest you seek the help of a good paediatric psychologist.
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
