I forgot what I was going to say
Man, I got enough to worry about, I don’t need this
That’s the beauty of dementia, one of the symptoms is that you usually don’t realize you’re experiencing it.
Oh. Yay.
Well that’s just fucking great.
Yay, something else to look forward to besides joint replacement surgeries and more arthritis.
What? Adhd affects joints?
Yeah, we tend to smoke more of them.
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.
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.
Actual journal here
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.
Thanks, that’s what I was going to find. Shame none of us concentrate past the first two replies, but hey.
I mean, we do have ADHD, how long do you expect us to be able to concentrate
Well fuck. I’d have been okay not knowing this.
soon you’ll forget anyway
Nice gif
Well it was nice not knowing all of you
Who this?
What are you all doing in my house?
Tbh ya all don’t need to panic like that. While the finding appears to be sound what it does not tell is what happens in the cohort in 5/10/15 years. It is possible that an adult diagnosis of ADHD may only lead to an earlier onset and that the rest of the cohort will develop it in the same ratio. Until the cohort is not all through it doesn’t really say anything.
Besides they appear to have excluded anyone who was already diagnosed with ADHD to begin with and only assessed people who were diagnosed as adult.
Uggg I hate seeing things like this
ERASES RECENT MEMORY REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE RETURNS TO MERE MEDIUM-WORRY STATE Oh that’s fun I’m so glad i learned… uh, that ignorance is bliss ✨👍🤩🫠🧠
My grandma passed away from dementia a couple of years back. My mom has symptoms of ADHD. I am diagnosed with ADHD. The only person in the family to get diagnosed and actively treating with meds and stuff.
I wonder if knowledge and meds can stave of dementia.
Every week there is an article linking dementia to this and that. I really can’t keep up with it anymore. At this point everything causes dementia.
I wouldn’t stress out of it. You might learn that stress is what causes dementia.
Actually yes there was a study showing that recently

Not surprised. My memory is already non existent. Lol. Maybe it’s the weed. Maybe it’s the adhd. Who knows.
Weed actually ended up improving my memory when I started if only by having tons of practice FINDING THE FUCKDAMN LIGHTER!
Blame it on my ADD, baby!
SAIL!
Wait, what was I going to write?!
What’s the risk of looking like Dormammu?
