      The specific causes of ADHD aren’t known – although factors like genetics, environment and diet are thought to be factors.

      ADHD is really interesting, and no one really knows what causes it. It’s definitely something going wrong in the brain. There’s some evidence to suggest that the brain structure is altered in kids who have ADHD, but basically we don’t really understand what’s going on.
