Question
A 9-year-old girl has been running back and forth to the hospital many times, with the treatment not showing significant effects, and she is still getting sick. Please ask: What are the causes of ADHD in children?
Answer
Social environmental factors. Both poor family and social environments can increase the likelihood of a child developing ADHD. Inappropriate parenting styles are also one of the risk factors for ADHD. Genetic factors. Family and twin studies show that genetic factors are an important cause of ADHD. Dietary factors. There have been cases where children consume excessive amounts of lead-containing foods, and high blood lead levels may be associated with hyperactivity and inattention, which could be potential causes of ADHD.
