Mutations in DNA can explain the "fact" of an incurable mental disorder

New research has suggested that ADHD could reside in the DNA of an infected child.

Scientists have identified more than 300 genetic mutations that increase the risk of mental disorders by 19%, according to findings from a team at the University of New York. Researchers have therefore been able to question the fact that ADHD can only justify bad behavior.

In the first study of its kind, scientists analyzed 55,374 people using a global database in which 2,083 participants were diagnosed with ADHD, according to studies published in the journal Nature Genetics.

A total of 304 mutations were identified in 12 different sites of this mental disorder.

These genetic variants overlap with 44 other conditions, including severe depression, loss of appetite, obesity, insomnia, and even smoking.

These mutations are thought to affect the patient's central nervous system, which then affects brain growth and neuronal malformations.

This supports previous research, where attention deficit disorder is associated with hyperactivity already associated with sleep disturbances and impulsive behaviors, such as excessive foods and smoking.

Previous studies have questioned the role of genetics in ADHD and have identified environmental factors such as parental maltreatment, a mental disorder that has been described as "heresy" and an excuse for poor behavior.

Others suggest that ADHD symptoms can be a way of concealing situations such as depression, which requires a variety of treatments.

The symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder usually appear at an early age and become more pronounced with the incurable development of the child, but it is generally recommended to use a combination medications and treatments to relieve symptoms and make life easier.
