Abstract Synopsis
- ADHD is caused by a complex interplay of genetic, environmental, and psychosocial factors, with no single cause identified.
- Research shows familial and heritable components, including specific genetic variants and neurodevelopmental overlaps with conditions like autism, but these are not definitive predictors.
- Environmental risks such as early adversity, lead exposure, low birth weight, and prematurity are associated with ADHD, but current evidence only shows correlations, not direct causation, and further research is needed.
