Children who are diagnosed and treated for ADHD at a young age may be less likely to use substances compared to those who start treatment later or are not diagnosed.
ADHD increases the risk of developing problems associated with drug use, and this association not only exacerbates both disorders but also complicates ADHD treatment and leads to a less favorable outcome. Therefore, preventing drug addiction is a fundamental objective in the management and treatment of children and adolescents with ADHD.
