It has been well known for a while that persons with ADHD have a tendency toward addiction.
But while doing other research, I stumbled across a recent article that describes a study which showed it is actually the Inattentive , not Hyperactive subtype that has a stronger tendency towards addiction. I would have thought it was the other way around. Previous studies had not examined this because they never split up subjects into the two subtypes (because DSM used to not distinguish the two).
