How long do ADHD people live?: The latest research on life expectancy

Recent research published in *The British Journal of Psychiatry* found that adults diagnosed with ADHD experience a reduced life expectancy, with men living an average of 6.78 years less and women 8.64 years less than their counterparts without the disorder. However, experts emphasize that this doesn't mean having ADHD is a life sentence, as the reduced lifespan is often due to modifiable risk factors and unmet needs rather than the condition itself.
