What, if anything, can we older people do to prevent shorter life span/make up for lost time (short of absolute perfection-HaHaHa!)?

Dr Barkley, huge fan and owner of four of your books. Anything more I can learn as a mother of four children diagnosed ADHD and diagnosed myself thirteen years now. I have no doubts that a person with ADHD would have a less life expectancy. My oldest son had a motorcycle wreck last June. Ended up with 40% 3rd degree burn/road rash and was in hospital, burn unit for 32 days. So lucky to be alive. Less life expectancy not to mention the economic burden.

Grateful to Dr. Barkley’s devotion and persistence in this challenging field – a beacon in the dark for me as a mother of a teen boy with ADHD+depression+anxiety+suicidal. Medications have been minimally effective to date, though we persist to find a better combination. Out of desperation, we are considering hypnotherapy to address PTSD from years of school failure. Has Dr. Barkley ever heard of hypnotherapy as a beneficial therapeutic tool for kids with ADHD?
