What did the ADHD assessment consist of? Was it conducted by medical personnel? His physical aggression is the most troubling aspect of what you describe, and it would be prudent to have him seen by a pediatric mental health professional.

Whenever a parent has a biologically-driven emotional disorder, such as depression, a child is at risk for displaying the condition. However, that does not guarantee that a child will display the condition. Please have him evaluated by a mental health professional.
