The real cause of ADHD is still undetermined, although there are a few factors that are a possible part of the cause. Genetics, for instance, might contribute to the cause of ADHD because it is well known that some sicknesses can be transfered from one generation to the next.

Other causes such as excessive amounts of sugar are known to increase the hyperactive performance of a person.
