    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.

      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.
