Many children with ADHD will have obvious characteristics after school. Children are diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), which many parents think is due to their wrong educational methods.
In fact, this is one-sided. There are many reasons for ADHD, but the final result is actually the same. What parents should do more is to adjust their mentality and help their children change, instead of falling into self-blame.
ADHD is a nervous system disease caused by imbalance of brain neurotransmitter catecholamine secretion. Only when parents and friends know the cause of ADHD can they help their children to do a good job in prevention and rehabilitation.
Generally speaking, it is divided into congenital and acquired. Congenital is mainly influenced by biological factors, and acquired is mainly influenced by psychology and environment.
There are also some claims that the disease may be related to zinc and iron deficiency and increased blood lead. Cola, coffee and food additives may increase the risk of this disease in children.
In fact, the cause of ADHD is not clear, and it is mostly considered to be the interaction between heredity and environment.
note:
To judge whether a child has ADHD, you can make a preliminary analysis through the above steps. If parents can't tell the difference by themselves, they can go to the hospital for help.
ADHD is a neuropsychiatric disease in children, which requires doctors to comprehensively judge whether children have ADHD through instrument examination, observation and scale evaluation.
It is understandable for parents to care about their children, but don't label TA ADHD just because the children are naughty and active, which will bring unnecessary psychological pressure to the children.
Etiology of ADHD
1, genetic:
Family research, twins and foster care research support that genetic factors are important factors for ADHD in children.
More scientifically, ADHD has become the research object of geneticists. They estimate the genetic probability of ADHD in families. The study called "Family Reunion" shows that when a family already has a person with ADHD,
Other members are more prone to ADHD than we thought.
For example, a child who has a sister with ADHD is 30% to 40% more likely to have ADHD than the average person. If it is true twins (identical twins), the number will rise to 90%, which clearly shows that heredity is also a factor in the formation of ADHD. Humans have identified two genes closely related to ADHD: DRD4 gene and DAT gene. These two genes affect the production and transport of dopamine.
2. Neurotransmitters:
Neurobiochemical and psychopharmacological studies have found that neurochemical transmitters in the brain are unbalanced; For example, the function of dopamine and norepinephrine in blood and urine of patients is low, and the function of 5-HT is decreased. Some scholars have put forward the hypotheses of dopamine, norepinephrine and 5- hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in ADHD, but none of them can fully explain the etiology and mechanism of ADHD.
3. Environmental factors:
The incidence of smoking and drinking by fathers will also increase, or smoking and drinking by mothers during pregnancy will also increase the risk of illness;
4. Family and psychosocial factors:
Parents' bad personality, disharmony, frequent quarrels between parents in daily life, family breakdown, lack of care for children, improper parenting style, etc. Some people think that this obstacle may be related to zinc and iron deficiency and increased blood lead. Cola, coffee and food additives may increase the risk of this disease in children. In fact, the cause of ADHD is not clear, and it is mostly considered to be the interaction between heredity and environment.
note:
To judge whether a child has ADHD, you can make a preliminary analysis through the above steps. If parents can't tell the difference by themselves, they can go to the hospital to ask a doctor to help identify whether ADHD is a neuropsychiatric disease of children and need a doctor to use the instrument.
Check, observe and evaluate the scale to comprehensively judge whether the child has ADHD.
