Patient's question:
What elements does ADHD lack?Doctor's answer:
Deficiency of trace elements in the body. Children are in a growth phase, and if there is a deficiency of trace elements in their bodies, it can lead to childhood ADHD. For example, a lack of iron can cause iron-deficiency anemia in children, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the body and affecting brain development, which may trigger ADHD. Zinc deficiency can affect a child's intellectual development. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a check-up on trace elements and supplement them based on the test results. Children who go to school should pay more attention to eating nutritious foods and avoid snacks.
