What Causes ADHD?
Although some have claimed that ADHD stems from food additives, sugar, or immunizations, none of these are true. Researchers have pinpointed the exact causes of ADHD. One is a lower level of brain activity in areas that focus on attention, which is likely passed down genetically.
Other potential causes include prematurity, prenatal exposure to substance abuse, or head injuries. Genetics seems to be a primary cause of ADHD because children patients have a 25% chance of having a parent with the condition.
