Is ADHD, Depression, ODD, Hypoglycemia Possible Due To A Father S Drug Addiction?
My now-16-year-old daughter was recently diagnosed with ADHD, mixed anxiety and depression, and ODD. She was jaundiced when she was born and when she was 3 mos was diagnosed with hypoglycemia; she was nearly 4 years old before she grew out of it. Could her biological father s crack addiction played a role in her physical and mental problems? I ve never used any drugs or abused alcohol, and no one on either side of her family has had any of these problems.
