I'm ADHD and bipolar 2 I can't wait to see how my brain rots as I age
Least I'm not suicidal nowadays :shrug:
Oh.
Great.
I’ll just… put that over here, with the other “terrors I’m trying not to hyperfixate on”, like Parkinson’s and climate change. >

I have adhd. So do both my kids.
Sigh... >

AuDHD for me and my son here. Fun times, fun times. >

I just got it under some control. Homemade edibles saved me. >

This is a small sample - 212 adults - and incomplete data.
"Because large-scale studies that follow patients with childhood-diagnosed ADHD into older age are lacking, the researchers had to contend with an incomplete set of data. "
SO limited in other ways... >

Oh yeah, a lot of people I know in their 30s, including me, had undiagnosed ADHD. It was always played off as just being hyper. So we're pretty much out in that department. 
I'd love to see more data in the future. But that is indeed a pretty small sample to report confidently on. >

And not to mention ADHD is also excessively over diagnosed, often the blame for children’s bad behavior and an excuse to Medicate and relieve parents stress. 
Too much alarming with little data here, although a proper brain PET scan (which no one gets) can Identify actual ADHD. This was used in this case, so at least accurate diagnosed patients were selected. >

My theory is that chronic sleep deprivation is a contributing factor to alzheimer’s. Sleep is important for cleansing the brain. I frequently do not get enough sleep.
