HealthDay (12/29) reports, “Adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder” (AD/HD) appear to “have a strikingly high prevalence of attempted suicide, with women being at particular risk, researchers say.” Their “study of nearly 22,000 Canadian adults found that 14% of those with” AD/HD “had attempted suicide,” a rate that “was roughly five times” that of adults without AD/HD. The findings were published online Dec. 21 in the Archives of Suicide Research.
