Question

My child is always restless and cannot focus on one thing. I’m not sure if it’s ADHD or how to prevent it.

Answer

ADHD treatment remains a challenging issue in the field of world medicine. However, there is a general consensus on the causes of ADHD, which can be summarized into several aspects:

  1. Genetic factors. For example, if someone with ADHD is closely related by blood in the family, it indicates the presence of a genetic factor, but this is only a possibility and not necessarily definitive.
  2. Environmental pollution and food contamination factors. For instance, severe lead contamination in the air, working in an environment with high radiation for a long time, or having significant pesticide residues in food. Pregnant women living in such environments and consuming contaminated food may harm the fetus’s nervous system.
  3. Abnormal delivery methods can lead to a high proportion of ADHD cases. For example, cesarean sections, difficult deliveries, asphyxia, and the use of forceps are abnormal delivery methods that have been proven to be detrimental to the future development of children.
  4. Diseases during the child’s growth process may also harm the nervous system, affect brain development, and lead to ADHD.
