> _Emerging_ Neurobiology They key point is "emerging". You will find a lot of research, but there are no meta-analyses of brain imaging or gene studies showing any correlation to those diagnosed with ADHD. Even the diagnostic manual, the DSM-5, explicitly states that no biomarkers for diagnosis exist. The descriptive diagnostic criteria for ADHD were simply made up by a group of psychiatrists in the 1980s from their observations. So the definition of ADHD is entirely recursive. So all we know is people have some basket of symptoms, and an impairment in their ability to live their life, but an entirely unknown cause. You may also be surprised to find that there is no proof of the link between depression and serotonin either - which is the main theory for treatment. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41380-022-01661-0 |
