Older teens and adults with attention deficit disorder are much less likely to commit a crime while on ADHD medication, a new study from Sweden found. It also showed how much more prone people with ADHD are to break the law — four to seven times more likely than others.

The findings suggest that Ritalin, Adderall, and other drugs that curb hyperactivity and boost attention remain important beyond the school-age years and that wider use of these medications in older patients might help curb crime.
