A decades-long UK cohort study following 10,930 people born in 1970 found that children who showed more attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) traits at age 10 had higher odds of multiple self-reported physical health conditions and physical health–related disability by age 46. The research, published in JAMA Network Open, suggests smoking, psychological distress and higher body mass index partly help explain the link, and highlights the need for better identification and support across adulthood.
Collegium Pharmaceutical, Inc. (COLL) held an investor conference call on March 19, 2026, to discuss its acquisition of AZSTARYS and relevant corporate subsidiaries from Corium Therapeutics. The deal aims to expand the company's position in the ADHD market. Executives including CEO Vikram Karnani joined the call.

Researchers at Monash University have found that adults with ADHD experience more frequent episodes of sleep-like brain activity during wakefulness, which correlates with attention lapses. The study, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, links these brief shifts to errors, slower reactions, and increased sleepiness during tasks. Lead author Elaine Pinggal suggests this mechanism underlies attention difficulties in ADHD.
