Answer
Hello, the exact cause and pathogenesis of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in children are not yet fully understood. Both domestic and international scholars generally believe that this condition is caused by multiple factors acting together, including genetic factors, mild brain injury, underdeveloped brain development, industrial pollution, nutritional factors, family environment factors, and drug factors. Psychological treatment is an important means of treating psychological defects in ADHD children. Parents, teachers, and healthcare professionals should encourage, guide, and educate children with a correct attitude, cultivate good living and learning habits, exercise self-control abilities, and work hard to study. These are all important contents of psychological treatment.
