Add in lower life expectancy from autism and loneliness, and I get the feeling that I'm not going to live very long.

Recent studies indicate as little as 5 minutes of video games even once will make your balls fall off. Or grow. Whichever one you don't want.

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.

[–] neuroneiro@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

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

My wife (who does not have ADHD), is not happy with this news.
