Question
What factors trigger Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in children, manifesting as inattention, social difficulties, and poor academic performance?
Answer
The causes of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder may include the mother’s conditions such as goiter, anemia, colds, nephritis during pregnancy; abnormal situations during the delivery process; and neurological trauma or infection within the first one or two years of the child’s life. Additionally, modern parents may excessively provide high-calorie supplements and high-protein foods to their children, which may contain additives and preservatives that could lead to adverse reactions such as restlessness and irritability.
