Abstract

The prevalence of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been increasing these days, and this phenomenon has raised the interest and attention of both society and the academy. While ADHD is believed to be one of the most common mental disorders in children, it may be essential to track back how to prevent such a disease to avoid further deficits in children’s cognitive functions affected by the early prevalence of ADHD. This paper reviews the possible causes of ADHD based on previous research. The results show that the dimension of causes could be split into three types: neutral or biological-related causes, natural and behavioral causes, and cognitive function deficit. With all these mentioned factors contributing to the prevalence of ADHD, and with a deeper knowledge of ADHD, the prediction of ADHD could be more high-efficient.
