(Before you drown this comment: it's a serious question) Are these ADHD diagnoses and drug perscribtions an American thing? I'm not from the US and I find these articles on ADHD medications quite surprising (the ammount of cases, not the fact that someone is actually sick. And I know people with various diagnoses as well have a gf who works in a clinic.), more I hear of is taking anti-depressants or being bi-polar.
