Common mental disorder could shorten your life, study finds
Fox News
People with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) were found to live shorter lives than those who were not diagnosed, according to a new study. Here's what to know.
Researchers from University College London analyzed the health data of 30,029 U.K. adults with ADHD, then compared it to 300,390 non-ADHD participants, a press release noted. Life expectancy was shortened by up to 9 years for men and up to 11 years for women, the study found. "This indicates that premature death is not caused by ADHD itself, but rather by the effects of untreated symptoms."

They determined that among men with ADHD, life expectancy was shortened by 4.5 to 9 years. For women with ADHD, it was shortened by 6.5 to 11 years.
