Using EMDR with ADHD child

I have just had my first EMDR session, which was fantastic, and was discussing it with a friend who is the mother of a 13yo boy with ADHD, suspected BPD, borderline SI/suicidal tendencies, rage, learning disabilities - pretty much the works, sadly.

She wondered whether this technique would help/could help her son. He is in therapy currently, plus taking anti-psychotic medication which is making him bulk up (thereby adding to his low self esteem issues).

Your comments and suggestions would be very welcome - my friend has tried pretty much everything to help him.
