Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

Causes of ADHD

Environmental factors and upbringing is often blamed for ADHD but these only serve to compound the problem, not create it. Genetics and other biological reasons primarily give rise to ADHD. Consuming alcohol and cigarettes during pregnancy, excessive lead levels in children, exposure to toxics also compound ADHD, though brain injury, sugary food, etc have little or insignificant effect on ADHD. Genetics, hereditary all cause ADHD. Such children are also shown to have smaller brain volumes in some studies.

Random Useful Tip:
Epinephrine shot
If you are known to have a severe anaphylactic reaction, carry an epinephrine (adrenaline) shot with you at all times. Pay attention to expiration date and replace it regularly: upon expiration, it loses its effectiveness.

Random Drug Info:
Levothyroxine
Levothyroxine is a pure synthetic form of T4 hormone that is made in a laboratory to be an exact replacement for the T4 that the human thyroid gland normally secretes. It comes in multiple strengths, which means that an appropriate dosage can almost always be found for each patient.
