wuhey my immediate assumption was indeed correct, ADHD is once again simply the "impulsive boys and men" disease.
like what's even the point of writing articles about stuff like this? "congratulations, as if you weren't already suffering enough from this we're now also going to tell you you'll die early! aren't you glad?"
Are we speaking honestly here?
I mean I hate myself for my ADHD.
So it's proven just for men. Wonder what it would be like if they studied women too. Thanks for tldr!
