There are many theorized causes including food intolerances, family stresses, the disorder is often coupled with other coexisting conditions such as FAS. It was previously believed that ADD was due to head traumas and a small number is still affecte dthis way. There is no tried and tested way to disclose the cause in any one individual

Can ADHD be passed down genetic?
Yes, ADHD has a strong genetic component, meaning that it can be passed down from parents to children. Research shows that individuals with a family history of ADHD are more likely to develop the disorder themselves. However, environmental factors can also play a role in the development of ADHD.
Is bipolar disorder in one parent inherited by offspring?
Yes. Children with one bipolar parent have a 30% chance of developing bipolar disorder. Even children of bipolar parents who do not develop bipolar disorder are at increased risk (compared to children who do not have a bipolar parent) for other psychopathology such as ADHD, learning disorders, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, etc. Children with two bipolar parents are at an even greater risk of developing bipolar disorder.
What chromosome is ADHD found on?
ADHD is a complex disorder with likely involvement of multiple genes; it is not specifically found on a single chromosome. Research suggests that certain genes located on various chromosomes, such as 5, 11, and 17, may contribute to an increased risk of developing ADHD.
Is bipolar disorder carried on a sex chromosome?
It is less inheritable than other mental disorders such as ADHD and schizophrenia, however there is strong evidence that it is an inherited condition. It is also possible that it is caused by childhood trauma, or possibly even birth defects, affecting the volume of the prefrontal cortex (the 'mood' centre of the brain) As for the original question, no gene has been identified as yet as being responsible for the condition, so it isn't possible to say that it is or is not carried on a sex chromosome; but yes, there is a good chance it is carried on a chromosome
What category is clonidine in?
Clonidine is a medication in the category of alpha-2 adrenergic agonists. It is commonly used to treat high blood pressure, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and certain anxiety disorders.
Were do people get adhd from?

How any kids are bullied with ADHD?
It is a genetic disorder that people are born with.
Is ADHD recessive?
ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is not considered a purely recessive condition, as it is influenced by a combination of genetic, environmental, and neurobiological factors. While there is a hereditary component, with a higher likelihood of ADHD in individuals who have family members with the disorder, it does not follow simple Mendelian inheritance patterns. Instead, multiple genes may contribute to its development, interacting with environmental factors to increase risk. Thus, ADHD is best understood as a complex trait rather than a straightforward genetic disorder.
Is ADHD caused by watching TV?
No, it is a genetic disorder. Basically, you are born with it. It just may not show until a later age.
Can ADHD be passed down genetic?
Yes, ADHD has a strong genetic component, meaning that it can be passed down from parents to children. Research shows that individuals with a family history of ADHD are more likely to develop the disorder themselves. However, environmental factors can also play a role in the development of ADHD.

ADHD and Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder.
Is there gene therapy for adhd?
As of now, there is no approved gene therapy specifically for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Research in genetics has identified several genes associated with ADHD, but the complexity of the disorder, which involves multiple genetic and environmental factors, makes it challenging to develop targeted gene therapies. Current treatment options primarily focus on behavioral therapies and medication to manage symptoms rather than genetic interventions. Ongoing research may explore the genetic underpinnings of ADHD further, but gene therapy remains a future possibility rather than a present solution.
