Study Reveals Shorter Life Expectancy for Adults with ADHD

Recent research has highlighted significant concerns regarding the life expectancy of adults diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Studies indicate that individuals with ADHD may live considerably shorter lives than their peers, with findings suggesting a reduction of up to 11 years for some. Specifically, men with ADHD might experience a decrease in life expectancy by an average of 7 years, while women could face a deficit of 9 years. Experts express deep concern over these findings, which underscore the urgent need for increased awareness and management of mental health issues associated with ADHD.
