Abstract

Background: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is usually known as a hyperkinetic syndrome. It is also one of the primary reasons for academic struggle in children, and the most prevalent behavioral disorder especially in young people. Arachidonic acid (ARA), which is found in high concentrations in the brain, is formed in large part from gamma-linolenic acid (GLE).

This study aims to examine the therapeutic effect between omega-6 fatty acids and ADHD by means of a two-sample MR design.
