Is ADHD linked to Obesity?
Yes, studies show that it can be, especially if the person is the Hyperactive vs Inattentive type. Hyperactivity in ADHD is linked to impulsiveness, which can sometimes lead to binge eating episodes that eventually lead to obesity. However, the opposite is true as well. Those with ADHD who are prescribed stimulant medications frequently have the strong side effect; loss of appetite. So they actually end up eating less often than they should be; more commonly seen in those diagnosed with ADHD "predominately inattentive" type.
