There is all kinds of evidence that brain injury can cause ADHD symptoms. The most common disorder from a Brain Injury is depression. But many other disorders including Anxiety and ADHD and even OCD can come out of a brain injury. We’re actually working on some videos about this, with a couple of experts who have been dealing with this subject.

One of them said that many Doctor’s fail to ask about Brain injuries. But if someone has ADHD symptoms, yet it isn’t there in the family, in other words it’s not obviously genetic, then a brain injury is the most likely explanation. He realized this after working with three different ADHD individuals who had no ADHD in the family. Finally he asked one about a brain injury, and sure enough, the guy had suffered a brain injury a few years early. “Why didn’t you mention this earlier?!” The guy replied, “You didn’t ask.” Turned out the other two patients were in the same situation. Both had suffered brain injuries and neither had been asked about it.
