ADHD Meds Linked to Reduced Suicide and Crime Risk

Doctors have found that medicine for ADHD can help people.

A study looked at a lot of people in Sweden who were recently diagnosed with ADHD.

The study discovered that those taking ADHD medicine had less chance of hurting themselves or getting into trouble with drugs or the law.

This is helpful because there has been talk about whether ADHD is being over-treated.

The medicine seemed to work better if it was a stimulant, like Ritalin, compared to other kinds of medicine.

The researchers learned from a huge database that people who took the medicine had fewer problems with their behavior.
