We all want our children to grow up to live productive and fulfilling lives. Sometimes however, a mother’s good intentions are Genetic Connection Between ADHD, Addiction and Antisocial Behaviorsimply not enough, since the genes for ADHD, addiction and antisocial behavior are found in many American families. As Liane J. Leedom, M.D. describes in Just Like His Father? some kids inherit genes that send them down a path of destruction.
In Just Like His Father? the dance between nature and nurture that gives rise to ADHD, addiction and antisocial behavior is revealed so that mothers can take action now to protect their children. Dr. Leedom warns, “Your at-risk child’s needs may be different from those of other children.” A commitment to educate other moms about the needs of at risk children, began when Dr. Leedom realized that her son is at risk. For three years she poured through masses of scientific literature to gain the tools she needed to care for her own son. She says, “Although the government has spent millions uncovering the genetic and environmental factors involved in antisocial behavior, addiction and ADHD, the findings of this work are not available to the public.” She believes, “We all have a right to the information that will help us protect and enjoy our at-risk children.”
