A child with ADHD may perseverate on the past if they have a toxic mother who shows favoritism or a deadbeat dad. They may also have mental illnesses such as anxiety or depression. These mental illnesses may cause the child to focus excessively on the past, which can lead to worry and obsessive behaviors.

It's essential not to diagnose or assume any mental illnesses without proper assessment by a mental health professional. Also, it is important not to blame parents for any potential mental health challenges their child might be facing. The behaviors you described might indicate a child's difficulty in processing their emotions or understanding social interactions, but it's not necessarily a sign of ADHD, ODD, or any specific mental illness. Every individual's experience can be different, and multiple factors can contribute towards one's mental health and well-being. For example, if a child continually asks questions or dwells on a subject, they could be trying to gain a sense of control, seek attention or reassurance, or process their concerns about the situation. Many factors, such as family dynamics, communication, and emotional development, can play a role in how the child processes and expresses their emotions. Instead of trying to label the situation with specific mental illnesses, it can be more helpful to focus on how to support the child and help them understand and process their emotions effectively. Encourage open communication and create a safe space for them to express their feelings. If there are concerns about a child's mental health, it is crucial to consult a mental health professional who can provide appropriate assessment and recommendations. A clinical psychologist, psychiatrist, or therapist will be better able to evaluate the situation and provide guidance on how to navigate and address any potential issues.
