What are the causes of childhood ADHD?

Patient's question:

Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:
All trace elements checked are normal, but from everyday behavior, it can be seen that the child is like one with ADHD.

Doctor's answer:

The cause of this disease is unclear. Some believe it may be related to mild brain damage before and after birth, while others suggest it could be linked to genetics or metabolism. The onset of the condition is associated with damage to neurodevelopment, perinatal nutrition, the psychological and emotional state of the mother during pregnancy, intrauterine hypoxia, asphyxia during difficult labor, drug and toxic substance poisoning, among others. Another genetic predisposition is if the parents had ADHD during childhood, which increases the risk of the children developing the condition. Biochemical metabolic disorders can also trigger the onset of this disease. In recent years, it has been found that air pollution, food additives, lead poisoning, and harmful oxides are also contributing factors to the rise in ADHD rates. Negative social, family, and psychological factors, such as complex family relationships, single-parent households, extreme poverty, crowded living conditions, inharmonious parent personalities, and other psychological disorders, can all serve as triggers for this condition. In summary, ADHD is a syndrome caused by a combination of multiple biological, psychological, and environmental factors.
