ADD ADHD Causes & Treatment

What Causes ADD ADHD?

ADHD is highly genetic. If your father or mother has ADHD, there is an 80 percent probability that you or one of your siblings might also have ADHD.

Treating ADD ADHD

Support for people with ADHD can make a big difference. While there is no “cure” for the condition, there are interventions and treatments that can be quite effective in helping people with ADHD overcome their unique challenges and fulfill their potential interpersonally, academically, and professionally. Here at the Edge Foundation, we believe that coaching can provide an invaluable support system of understanding, structure, and confidence-building for young people with ADHD from preschool through college. Whether as a supplement to medicine, diet, exercise, and therapy or as a primary intervention, coaching can make a world of difference in the life of someone with ADHD. See The Edge ADHD Coach for more information about coaching as an ADHD intervention. Go to Meet Edge ADHD Coaches for more information about Edge coaches.
