Being diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or ADHD not only affects focus and organizing skills, but can also have an effect on life expectancy, as per a new study. Men with ADHD live seven years shorter, while women with the condition die nine years earlier, on an average, compared to people without it.
