ADHD: Risk Factors

Описание: There are some ADHD risk factors, such as genes, smoking, alcohol use or drug use during pregnancy.

Martin Lopez, Psychotherapist with Baptist Health Care and Counseling, says there is a genetic component, so if one of your parents happens to have ADHD you are more likely to have it.

Exposure to environmental toxins during pregnancy and low birth weight are also risk factors of ADHD.
