A new study suggests women with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are much more likely to have a wide range of mental and physical health problems in comparison to women without ADHD. Researchers at the University of Toronto were surprised by the various health issues — including suicidal ideation — which women with ADHD evidently experience...Investigators examined a representative sample of 3,908 Canadian women aged 20 to 39 of whom 107 reported that they had been diagnosed with ADHD.
