Hi Abby,
I’m so sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine anything worse.
While I’m not sure how many studies have been done on this, I know in our documentary Dr. Annick Vincent talked about the fact that ADDers have lower self-esteem, more failures, and are impulsive, and therefore they have a higher risk of suicide.
While ADHD doesn’t cause suicide, it may increase the risk.
Does that make sense?
Be well,
Rick
