Adolescent ADHS -Symptome beeinflussen das Einkommen des Erwachsenen indirekt durch Bildung und psychische Gesundheit: Personen mit Symptomen von ADHS und ODD: Ihre Einkommen waren 25% niedriger durch den Bildungsweg und 18% niedriger durch andere psychiatrische Störungen

> The study found that the symptoms are not directly linked to income levels in adulthood. Instead, the impact is seen indirectly, through education and other psychiatric disorders.

>The study used data from the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1986, which includes nearly 9,500 participants. When they were 16 years old, their parents assessed their ADHD and ODD symptoms using a questionnaire. In addition, national registers were used to obtain information on education, annual income, psychiatric disorders and background factors.

>However, his earlier research has shown that ADHD and ODD symptoms impair school performance during adolescence, lower educational attainment in adulthood, and increase the risk of unemployment and sickness absence
