GEORGE TOWN: The teenage girl who drove against traffic on the highway and caused a tragic accident may be suffering from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and could have taken drugs in an attempt to self-medicate, said an expert.

Child and adolescent psychiatrist Datuk Dr Lai Fong Hwa said if she was registered as having a learning disability, the most likely disorder was ADHD.
