This study suggests that adult ADHD is associated with an increased risk of dementia and warrants reliable assessment in adulthood.

There was, however, no clear increase in the risk of dementia associated with adult ADHD among those who received psychostimulant medication

The study, if anyone wants to read it

Shit, I need to get back on meds. I started just as lockdown started in 2020. Terrible timing, and I never kept up with them.

My problem is I need the meds to remember I need the meds.
