Detailed explanation-1: -Research does not support the popularly held views that ADHD is caused by eating too much sugar, watching too much television, parenting, or social and environmental factors such as poverty or family chaos. Of course, many things, including these, might make symptoms worse, especially in certain people.
Detailed explanation-2: -Stress can trigger or intensify ADHD symptoms. At the same time, living with ADHD may cause a perpetual state of stress. This could be due to a variety of reasons. Research has shown that stress affects the prefrontal cortex, the same location of the brain affected by ADHD.
Detailed explanation-3: -Risk factors for ADHD may include: Blood relatives, such as a parent or sibling, with ADHD or another mental health disorder. Exposure to environmental toxins-such as lead, found mainly in paint and pipes in older buildings. Maternal drug use, alcohol use or smoking during pregnancy.
