Patient's question:
I have ADHD, I found that my child has some ADHD, can this disease be inherited?Doctor's answer:
Although the exact cause of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is still unclear, there are still many children around us suffering from ADHD. However, research has found that ADHD in children is closely related to genetics, and genetics is one of the important reasons for ADHD. Surveys show that ADHD has a significant family clustering effect. The prevalence rate in first-degree relatives is 5-7 times higher than in the general population, and the prevalence rate in second-degree relatives also increases. If one of the parents has ADHD, there is a 50% chance that their children may also have ADHD.
