Question
The trace elements test is normal, but from daily behavior, the child seems to exhibit symptoms similar to ADHD.
Answer
The exact cause of the condition is unknown. Some believe it may be related to slight brain damage before or after birth, while others suggest it could be linked to genetics or metabolism. The onset of the disease may be associated with neural and psychiatric developmental impairments, perinatal nutrition, the psychological and emotional state of the mother during pregnancy, intrauterine hypoxia, difficult labor, asphyxia, drug and toxic substance poisoning, and other factors. Another genetic predisposition is that if either parent had ADHD as a child, their children are more likely to develop the condition. Biochemical substance metabolism disorders can also trigger episodes of the disease. In recent years, it has been found that air pollution, food additives, lead poisoning, and harmful oxides are also contributing factors to the rising incidence of ADHD. Poor social, family, and psychological factors, complex family relationships, single-parent families, extreme poverty, crowded housing, incompatible personalities between parents, and other psychological disorders can all be triggers for the condition. In summary, ADHD is a syndrome caused by a combination of various biological factors, psychological factors, and environmental factors.
