Genetics is the Main Cause of Hyperactivity

Story summary
A recent study has shown that genetic factors play the main role in ADHD and hyperactivity disorders in children, while excessive use of smartphones and digital devices can negatively impact children's ability to concentrate and focus on tasks.
- Researchers found that approximately 70-80% of hyperactivity cases in children have a genetic basis
- Environmental factors, including excessive screen time, can exacerbate symptoms in genetically predisposed children
- Studies indicate that prolonged smartphone use reduces attention span and working memory in children aged 6-12
- Digital device addiction interferes with the development of self-regulation skills in young minds. While previous reports emphasized environmental factors as the primary cause of concentration problems in children, this research highlights the significant role of hereditary factors, though it does not dismiss the substantial impact of technology overuse on cognitive development.
