What causes ADHD in children

Doctors have their own views on the causes of ADHD, and there have been poisoning claims in the past. What factors lead to ADHD?

Today's research has found that there are insufficient biochemical substances in the brain of ADHD patients to transmit neural information, which makes them unable to focus and control their thinking power normally. Drug therapy can change this situation. In addition, modern imaging found that the cerebral cortex of patients with ADHD is different from that of normal people.

Many diseases can cause ADHD like symptoms. For example, diseases that cause dyspnea (allergy, asthma, respiratory problems, etc.) can interfere with children's concentration and cause ADHD like symptoms. Other problems such as diabetes / hypoglycemia, audiovisual disorders, iron deficiency anemia, thyroid problems, lead poisoning, drug side effects, mental / neurological disorders, school or learning problems can affect children's attention, emotional and behavioral performance, and even affect their memory. Therefore, when taking your child to see a doctor, you should report the history in detail so that the doctor can exclude these diseases and make a correct diagnosis of ADHD.

Studies have confirmed that there are genetic factors in ADHD. This suggests that a child with ADHD may be related to his / her close relatives, but it does not mean that if one of the parents has ADHD, his / her children will definitely have ADHD. Even if you have ADHD, if your child has ADHD, it's not your fault.
