A recent study has shown that those exposed to tobacco smoke before birth, and people who came into contact with lead as children have a heightened chance of suffering from ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity).
According to WebMD, “researchers say they found that young people exposed prenatally to tobacco smoke were 2.4 times more likely to have ADHD, and that those with blood levels in the top third of the population had a 2.3-fold increased likelihood of ADHD diagnosis.” I wonder if it has anything to do with Americans still smoking…
Find a doctor in your area to properly diagnose you, or someone you know who might be suffering from ADHD.
