In February a group of researchers published an study about the link between mixed-handedness and mental health problems in adolescents and children. They found that children who were mixed-handed (as opposed to right- or left-handed alone) were more likely to show symptoms of ADHD and mental health issues 8 years later.
Why? The authors of the study cite differences in brain chemistry and wiring between people who are mixed-handed and those who aren’t. For more information check out the AAP News Website Article.
