What is the cause of hyperactivity in children?

Organic damage of brain tissue: about 85% of ADHD children are caused by dysfunction of frontal lobe or caudate nucleus, including: maternal diseases during pregnancy, such as hypertension, nephritis, anemia, low fever, threatened abortion, cold, etc; Abnormal delivery process, such as premature delivery, forceps delivery, caesarean section, asphyxia, intracranial hemorrhage, etc; Infection and trauma of central nervous system occurred within 1-2 years after birth; Mothers often have a history of heavy smoking or drinking. Children with the above conditions are more likely to develop ADHD, which is the cause of ADHD.

Genetic factors: parents of about 40% ADHD children, 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 ordinary children. All the above points suggest that genetic factors are closely related to ADHD, which is also the cause of ADHD.

Environmental factors lead poisoning: there are also social, family and psychological factors that induce ADHD in children. 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. Lead poisoning is a popular theory, but not all children in the same situation are hyperactive, so the causes of hyperactivity disorder in children need to be further studied.
