Can ADHD be passed on to your child?

Yes, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can be passed on to a child through genetics. Studies have shown that ADHD has a strong genetic component, and having a parent or close relative with ADHD increases the likelihood that a child will also have the condition. However, it's important to note that genetics alone do not determine whether someone will develop ADHD, as environmental factors also play a role.
