Public Policy
Research has shown that ADHD patients have a reduced life expectancy by 8.4 years. This is often due to poor management of co-occurring medical conditions such as obesity, drug abuse, and smoking. These conditions can be linked to health-related behaviors that are symptomatic for ADHD, which can lead to poor adherence and disinterest in medical advice.
