I have a problem with the characterization of ADHD, because it just sounds like... children being children, or maladaptive adults not taking active control of their executive function. I acknowledge that the issues are real, but I suspect like many others that the issues patients have are ones that arise from societal requests and requirements. I think the attempt to formally classify attention deficit disorder is mostly unscientific and one of care rather than something that can be objectively measured. The article and the professionals in it don't discuss any measurement of the condition, rather the lack thereof. I think people who want care for ADHD should receive it, but I think the term is wildly out of date and we should have some sort of new term for the condition that doesn't have the same connotations, or just promote the societal idea that if you need nootropics to focus, that's OK.
