The aim was to identify a link between receiving behavioral treatment for ADD or ADHD, such as training or an intervention, and difficulties with emotions, concentration, and behavior. The research methodology is based on a correlation analysis of the results of a structured interview of the National Survey of Children's Health of children aged 3-17 years in 51 US states in 2018-2019. The results show that personality traits determine the predisposition to mental disorders. In particular, the child's psyche is most affected by such character traits as non-conflicting honesty in performing tasks, control and calm, interest and curiosity. Friendliness has almost no effect on the manifestations of attention disorders and hyperactivity. The practical value of the results is to prove the reduction of the level of problems related to emotionality, concentration and behavior, through psychological and pedagogical intervention.
