    Since this topic was created, another article has been published on the link between ADHD and Parkinson’s disease. This article, published in 2021, suggests that ADHD may increase the risk of diseases affecting the basal ganglia and cerebellum, known as BG&C diseases. These include Parkinson’s disease.

    However, I’m sure researchers still need more data to determine the link between Parkinson’s disease and ADHD, as well as the long-term effects of ADHD medications.
