okay well lets delve into the science here:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27489770 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27489770 "Quantifying patterns of brain activity: Distinguishing unaffected siblings from participants with ADHD and healthy individuals."
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27471442 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27471442 "Neural Biomarkers for Dyslexia, ADHD, and ADD in the Auditory Cortex of Children."
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27422412 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27422412 "Network Structure among Brain Systems in Adult ADHD is Uniquely Modified by Stimulant Administration."
as you can see there is no ambiguity that ADHD is a biochemical and neural network-grounded disorder backed by a galaxy of studies. the sad fact is that stimulants don't work for up to 20% of people with ADHD, dooming them to dysfunction.
and yes, the pharmas are greedy, and promote overdiagnosis. and yes, modern life promotes ADHD-like symptoms-- but the whole point of ADHD is that it's a priori relative to life experience.
