Children become very active after the age of two, and some children are very lively, constantly moving around. When encountering such a situation, parents may worry about whether their child has ADHD. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) has a significant impact on both the body and daily life of children. Therefore, when parents discover that their children have ADHD, they must take it seriously. So what are the causes of ADHD in young children?
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is not just about physical activity, but also related to disturbances in the brain's neurotransmitter system. Coupled with the influence of later growth environments, it can easily trigger ADHD in children. Generally, children are most likely to develop ADHD when they are six or seven years old, and a small number of younger children may also experience ADHD.
Most children with ADHD are caused by genetics, and if a relative in the family has ADHD, there is a high possibility of genetics in the child. If a child has organic damage to brain tissue, it can also lead to ADHD. This type of ADHD is commonly caused by damage to the frontal lobe or caudate nucleus, which can lead to functional impairment and ultimately result in ADHD.
Environmental factors can also lead to children developing ADHD, such as mental stimulation or shock. Children with ADHD may not only be lively and active, but also experience abnormal excitement, crying, and poor sleep. Some children with ADHD also have difficulty feeding. If a child shows these symptoms, parents should take them seriously and take them to the hospital for examination as soon as possible.
