Can ADHD Be Prevented?
Given that there are many suspected causes of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, prevention may be difficult. However, as a precaution it is always wise for expectant mothers to receive prenatal care and stay away from alcohol, tobacco, and other harmful chemicals during pregnancy. It also makes good sense for mothers to obtain good health care for their children. These recommendations may be particularly important when attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder is suspected in other family members.
