Is A.D.D. and A.D.H.D. past down in families?
Question:
Answers:
There is growing proof that these so called diseases are being caused by the very products we use in our homes and schools. Chemical imbalances in the brain are being caused by chemicals we use every day. Bleach, lysol, lysterine, Dawn dishsoap, tide, cascade, windex etc. all have toxic chemicals in them that can cause problems with the central nervous system and brains chemical balance. Now because you probably use the same products your parents brought you up using. It seems like heredity. Luckily there are companies that make products that can help. My favorite company is Melaluca it has done wonders fot my family and me.
Other Answers:
These are quite often inherited traits. However, they don't know if its genetically inherited, or inherited by copying thier parents behavior.
Yes, it is passed down. There is a lot of evidence supporting that ADD is a genetic chemical imbalance in the brain, which could easily be passed down. There is also arguments that ADD is a learned behavior, which could be passed down from how you are raised. Personally, I think it is some of both, but mostly genetic. I know I have ADD and it is not just a learned thing. My dad and sister also have it.

A.D.D and A.D.H.D are simptoms of society not sicknesses or desieses. not every person fits into the same mold.
someone I know that is very close to me has both and ocd. I belive that it is, but back when we were kids they did not look for the sings. We were just called crazy kids. now anything that a child does he or she must have it. They wanted to put this child that I love so much on something to slow him down, but I will not let them! I will just try my best to keep him at a stady speed
Yes, it is an inherited trait. Many studies conclude that ADD/ADHD is hereditary, since several family members frequently exhibit the symptoms. Although sometimes it can skip generations which makes it difficult to detect; the trait still is carried throughout certain family members most oftenly women, since they can be a carrier to the disorder.

I'm sorry could you ask the question again I wasn't paying attention.
ADD and ADHD are fabricated diseases. Did you ever notice there was no such thing as those "disorders" until a pharmaceutical company made ritalin? And how first only kids had it but now the makers of Ritalin are running commercials asking adults if they might have ADD?
I have a ADD/ADHD test for you. Purely a non medical procedure as I am not a doctor and have not played one on TV.
Here it goes:
Give the kid an x-box 360 with his/her favorite video game in it.
Leave the room for an hour.
When you come back if that kid is still in the same spot, playing the game, then they do not have ADD/ADHD!
I have read that children today, especially the very young children, being exposed to quickly changing stimuli like TV and Computer games,that their brains were never intended to handle at those speeds, can stress their ability to process info. Plus all the junk on our foods today..!!
actually IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) could be the cause of ADD/hd and you should check it out..my son has ibs and that is why no medication helped him.
ibs is caused by lack of a certain enzyme in the gut and thus in turn causes the brain to store serritonin.
