There was, however, no clear increase in the risk of dementia associated with adult ADHD among those who received psychostimulant medication, and evidence of reverse causation was mild.

I read the abstract and I can’t understand if medicated ADHD adults don’t show the increase the unmedicated ones did or if the medication did not make a difference (increase or decrease) compared with unmedicated adults.

So are medicated ADHDers statistically similar to unmedicated ADHDers or non ADHDers?

My understanding is that medicated were not found to have the same increase in risk.

3+ decades of dozens of prescriptions, none gave me a moment’s peace.

On the other hand, my little vape has saved the day more times than I can count.

Not that I know of… however, I’m a disabled veteran. Jumping out of planes definitely affects joints.

It’s pretty closely connected to EDS/Hypermobility. For many this will be mild though and go unnoticed.

POTS, MCAS (gi issues, allergies) in the ‘chronic triad’

yeah I looked up after and saw that there is an increased correlation between ADHD and hypermobility, I do have Hypermobility.
