I think its false, a brainwashing lie created because back when, a teacher simply failed at their duties and needed an excuse to hide it. Thats normal for people to make up lies to hide their faults, look at politics LOL. Thoughts and opinions please?

I have felt for a long time that many kids get falsely diagnosed with ADD or similar problems and they are just being kids. I would have been diagnosed with this if I was younger now and that would have been totally wrong. everyone looks for some medical answer when there might not be any at all, just an active energetic kid.

Attention-Deficit Disorder is way to over rated. Im sick of seeing 4 out of every 5 kids taking drugs for this disease when probably only 1 really needs it.
