Iron Deficiency Link to ADHD

A study in France has identified a link between iron deficiency and ADHD. Fifty three children with ADHD were tested at the Child and Adolescent Psychopathology Department in the European Pediatric Hospital, Paris, and 84% of them had abnormal iron levels compared to only 18% in a control group. There appeared to be a link between the severity of iron deficiency and the severity of the ADHD symptoms. The study suggests that iron supplements may be useful in treating ADHD.
