Is ADHD Genetic? Understanding Your Brain's Blueprint
You might feel like you are working twice as hard just to stay in place. It is not because you are lazy or lack willpower. Your brain simply came with a unique set of instructions from the start.
What is it?
ADHD is a highly heritable neurodevelopmental condition. This means it is passed down through families via DNA. It affects how your brain processes information and regulates energy from the day you are born.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
Research shows that certain genes affect how dopamine moves through your brain. These genes influence the development of the prefrontal cortex. This part of the brain is responsible for planning, timing, and staying on track.
