Adults with ADHD face a shorter life expectancy, dying up to nine years earlier due to various health risks.

A recent study in The British Journal of Psychiatry found that adults with ADHD have a shorter life expectancy compared to those without the condition. Men with ADHD die, on average, seven years earlier, while women die nine years earlier. The reduced life expectancy is linked to higher risks of smoking, alcohol abuse, and mental health issues. Researchers emphasize the need for better support and healthcare systems for people with ADHD.
