Question
My child has been diagnosed with ADHD in the hospital. What are the causes of childhood ADHD and what should be done?
Answer
There are many causes of ADHD in children, including deficiencies in brain neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine and dopamine, which reduce the inhibitory activity of the central nervous system, as well as genetic factors like congenital physical defects, organ abnormalities, chromosomal abnormalities, and parental mental illness. Corresponding coping measures can be taken for different causes.
