Detailed explanation-1: -Genetics. ADHD tends to run in families and, in most cases, it’s thought the genes you inherit from your parents are a significant factor in developing the condition. Research shows that parents and siblings of someone with ADHD are more likely to have ADHD themselves.
Detailed explanation-2: -Greatest heredity from mother-40 percent of these boys are themselves diagnosed with the condition, says Solberg. The greatest inheritance was from the mother to the children.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Family Connection Anywhere from one-third to one-half of parents with ADHD will have a child with the disorder. There are genetic characteristics that seem to be passed down. If a parent has ADHD, a child has more than a 50% chance of having it. If an older sibling has it, a child has more than a 30% chance.
Detailed explanation-4: -While the exact causes of ADHD have not been identified, genetic studies show there is a strong hereditary component, with an up to a 91 percent likelihood of passing the disorder to your children.
