There are many causes for ADD and ADHD. It is not always genetics. It can be an intolerance to something in their enviroment. We all have a different level of tolerance for toxins in our daily life. At some point our bodies are in overload and start having things go wrong with us, that maybe no one in our family has ever delt with. My daughter has been on meds for 3 years and once we got all the indoor toxins out of our house and started getting vitamins in her she totally mellowed and can concentrate with the best of them. Just something to think about.

Nutritional deficiency plain and simple.

Fix your dietary intake (eliminate such drugs as caffeine, sugar, alcohol), eat less processed food and SUPPLEMENT for deficient long chain fatty acids and you may experience what I have:

Within the past 6 months nearly all my symptoms of ADD/ADHD, Dyspraxia and mild Dyslexia have disappeared entirely.

Note: Yes, toxic chemicals within the home and environment can exacerbate the symptoms + food allergies as well. The key is to start to right the imbalances in our brains AND rid our work & living environments of toxicity.

NewStrength has great advice and I plan to implement more effort with nutrition and practices. For instance, no more soup in a cup for the microwave! The styrofoam is not much different in compound than the melamine found in the dog food causing so much death and heart ache recently. Genetics is one of many reasons for ADD, and according to Dr.Amen who wrote the book "Change your brain, Change your life" trauma to the brain can definitely cause symptoms of ADD. Think about Shaken Baby Syndrom, if death from being shaken can happen, how easily might injury result from a fall from the handle bars of a bicycle or from a horse for example cause brain damage? I strongly recommend the book. Reading it changed MY LIFE.

Put me right somebody,but sunflower10 has triggered a recall on t.v.associating "Head trauma" with adhd,only wish i could remember when id veiwed it and on what channel so i could ring the station to find out!!!but it DOES ring a bell with the possibility of a link.....?

the definition off add and adhd is that your born with it, that its genetic, and that some people just dont show symptoms for along time, and some show them right away, the theories of why that is is based on the childs IQ, family life, and environment, and education. if a childs IQ is high, then most likey they wont have to pay attention well and will still get good grades, based on how their raised will make symptoms worse or better, because if a parent lets the kid run around and get out their energy, but also structures them, and doesn't make them feel bad about themselves, that kinda stuff, they'll most likely be better than they would be if they were raised thinking that they're bad, and have parents that don't understand. different ways of education could make a big difference in someone with add adhd, hands on learning works alot better than sitting down and reading from a text book, people like me pay attention to things they're interested in more than they can if they aren't interested.

a head trauma can cause symptoms of add/adhd, like it can make someone have a short attention span and distracted, that kindof stuff, but its not add/adhd, its affects of head trauma. im not sure if they can still treat the symptoms of add/adhd with add/adhd meds if its not actually add or adhd, but that could be, but most likely a doctor wouldnt prescribe it for that
