Shocking Link Found Between ADHD and Shorter Lifespan
2025-01-23
A new study of over 30,000 UK adults with ADHD reveals a startling connection: a significantly shorter life expectancy and increased risk of mental health issues. Men with ADHD experienced a life expectancy reduction of 4.5 to 9 years, while women saw a decrease of 6.5 to 11 years. Researchers suggest this could be due to inadequate support and treatment, or potentially factors predating birth or early childhood. The findings highlight the urgent need for improved healthcare and interventions for individuals with ADHD to enhance their quality of life and lifespan.
