According to researchers children who are diagnosed with ADHD an early age are susceptible to depression and suicide more than other teens.
Researchers said 18 per cent of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder between ages 4 to 6 were more depressed as teenagers without ADHD. There's a risk that these children are more to prone to commit suicide.
This is a very important reason that parents should not neglect ADHD in early childhood.
There is no cure for that, but treatment can be kept by a combination of drugs and therapy.
Researchers from the University of Chicago and the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania, followed 123 children with ADHD from similar neighbourhoods and schools.
They discovered that children at a4 to 6 years of age are a at increased risk of depression and to some extent suicide during late childhood and adolescence.
Children with ADHD are also more likely than others to smoke and abuse drugs.
British researchers discovered the first reason that ADHD is a genetic disorder. This discovery should disprove thinking that ADHD is caused by bad parenting or high-sugar diets.
