You are aware that ADD is, at the current state of science, considered a difference within the brain chemistry and no "reaction" to something? You don't "develop" ADD. One requirement to diagnose ADD in high age is to prove that it was there from the beginning on, in your very first years. And that cavalier attitude that you describe is actually very harmful to people that _do_ have ADD, especially those that continue to have it after a certain age. Also note that "disease" is the wrong word for this. It is a condition: you have it, it won't go away, but you can work on it and build your life around it. It's not that you necessarily _suffer_. People speaking with half-knowledge about it are a popular nuisance, though. Also, describing those things as fads is _also_ very insulting to those that do struggle with these issues.
