Patient's question:
A girl is 9 years old this year. She has been running to and from the hospital many times, but the results are always not obvious, and she has been getting sick all the time. Please ask: What causes ADHD in children?Doctor's answer:
Social environmental factors. Adverse family and social environments may both increase the likelihood of children developing ADHD.Family factors. Inappropriate parenting styles are also one of the risk factors for ADHD.
Generational inheritance factors. Family and twin studies indicate that generational inheritance factors are a significant cause of ADHD.
Dietary factors. It has been observed that excessive consumption of lead-containing foods may lead to elevated blood lead levels, which could be associated with hyperactivity and inattention, potentially serving as a contributing factor to ADHD.
