What causes ADHD?
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a behavioral disorder that affects your focus and attention, as well as your ability to stick to a routine and complete tasks. If you have ADHD, it could be caused by or related to:
-Brain injuries
-Family history of ADHD
-Cigarette smoking or alcohol use while in utero
-Early exposure to environmental toxins, such as lead
ADHD impacts work, social interactions, and personal relationships. Because ADHD can lower your quality of life, it’s important to seek mental health care if ADHD symptoms are present.
