Understanding The Link of ADHD & Addiction
There is no evidence that ADHD and addiction are linked. Research suggests that people with ADHD may be more susceptible to developing addictive behaviors. Some reasons for the connection include poor impulse control and seeking stimulation to alleviate boredom. People with ADHD may turn to substances or other addictive behaviors as a way to self-medicate and manage their symptoms.
