> ‘From 2006 to 2020, the prevalence of ADHD medication use in Sweden increased from less than 1% to nearly 3%. During this time, ADHD drug usage consistently correlated with lower risks of self-harm, unintentional injury, traffic crashes, and crime in a cohort of more than 247 000 people aged 4 to 64 years.’
