Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: Causes of ADHD 



There are three subtypes of ADHD:

Predominantly inattentive. The majority of symptoms fall under inattention.






Risk factors for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder may include:



Maternal drug use, alcohol use or smoking during pregnancy

Premature birth

Although sugar was thought to have been debunked as suspect in causing hyperactivity.  However, can be easily refuted, when  all carbohydrates are taken into consideration, not just sugar.  The body can do only one of two things either burn off the sugar or store it as fat.  Therefore for a child who has a high carbohydrate intake, without movement, as typical in a classroom environment or at home in front of the computer of TV, childhood obsety and innattention is the outcome.   There is no question, that a high intake of sugar, in a prediabetic  or diabetic child or adult will cause inattention, as the blood sugar levels become unstable.



Children with ADHD:



Tend to have poor self-esteem
