Does pharmacological treatment for ADHD increase risk of cardiovascular disease?
A recent study suggests that use of medications commonly prescribed for ADHD treatment is associated with increased risk of certain cardiovascular conditions, but does it exceed the risks associated with untreated ADHD?
