What's the reason for children's hyperactivity

summary

Every child should have a healthy and happy childhood. However, children suffering from ADHD are still on the way to seek medical treatment. What many parents of children do not understand is why children suffer from ADHD? What are the reasons for children's hyperactivity? Let's take a look at the following.

What's the reason for children's hyperactivity

First, genetic factors. About 40% children with ADHD, their siblings and other relatives also suffered from this disease in their childhood. The incidence rate of hyperactive symptoms in monozygotic twins was significantly higher than that in twins. The prevalence rate of hyperactivity disorder was higher than that of half sibs (half of siblings), and higher than that of a child. These points all suggest that genetic factors are closely related to ADHD, which is also the cause of hyperactivity disorder.

Second, biological factors. A large number of studies have confirmed that the central monoamine receptor (a kind of neurotransmitter, which plays the role of transmitting brain information and is closely related to mental activity) in children with ADHD updates slowly. The latest medical research of Harvard University found that the image of prefrontal lobe of children with ADHD is darker than that of normal children, which is due to the defect of prefrontal lobe inhibition system, which regulates attention and executes the command function of the central nervous system of the brain.

Third, environmental factors. There are also social, family and psychological factors in children with ADHD. Bad social environment, broken family, bad character of parents, unexpected mental stimulation are easy to lead to children's inattention and hyperactivity. Some studies also found that vitamin deficiency or some food additives or pigments caused by metabolic disorders and hyperactivity in children.

The abnormal performance of ADHD children will be ridiculed and ridiculed by their classmates. The children will gradually develop a sense of inferiority, and the relationship with their classmates will gradually open up. They will become isolated, unwilling to contact or talk with others, and bear a grudge against the ridiculer. In serious cases, they may also have bad behaviors such as fighting and playing truant.
