Patient's question:
The child is always restless and cannot focus on one thing. It's not clear if it's ADHD, or how to prevent it.Doctor's answer:
The treatment of ADHD remains a challenge in world medicine. However, there is a growing consensus on the causes of ADHD, which can be broadly categorized into the following aspects:1. Genetic factors. For example, if a close relative in a family has ADHD, it suggests the presence of genetic factors. However, this is only a possibility and does not guarantee that the condition will manifest.
2. Environmental pollution and food contamination. For instance, severe pollution of heavy metals like lead in the air, long-term exposure to radiation, or food with high pesticide residues. If pregnant women live in such environments and consume contaminated food, it may harm the nervous system of the fetus.
3. Abnormal delivery methods leading to a high proportion of ADHD cases. For example, cesarean sections, difficult deliveries, oxygen deprivation, or the use of forceps have been proven to be detrimental to a child's future development.
4. Diseases during a child's growth process may also damage the nervous system, affect brain development, and lead to ADHD.
