Copy pasting the article: The aim of this study was to provide the first estimate of life expectancy for UK adults diagnosed with ADHD. We found that adults diagnosed with ADHD are living shorter lives than they should: the apparent years of life lost for males was around 7 years, and for females, 9 years, compared with the general population. We believe that this is unlikely to be because of ADHD itself and likely caused by modifiable factors such as smoking, and unmet mental and physical health support and unmet treatment needs. The findings illustrate an important inequity that demands urgent attention.
