Abstract

Multi-faceted impairment, comorbidities, age and impulsivity, that is structurally part of ADHD, are risk factors for a suicidal outcome which is a dramatic issue. However, screening for and treating ADHD and its comorbid disorders would dampen the suicidal risk. Designing studies leading to meaningful results is complex. Pharmacological treatments, particularly psychostimulants, may constitute a protection factor against suicidal risk. Copyright © 2016 John Libbey Eurotext.
