A member asked:
Does watching excessive amounts of tv lead to adhd in your child?
4 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Unanswered: Some studies point to an association, while other see no correlation. The american academy of pediatrics warns against excessive electronic media exposure, but not because of increased adhd, but because of increased aggressiveness in those exposed to too many hours of violent video games or media.

No: However, patients, especially children and teens, with excessive media and electronics usage are at higher risk for adhd and may not respond very well to treatment if they do not change their habits.
