Sadly, I think the ADHD statistics are skewed because many kids out there are misdiagnosed. This is either because they have another condition mistaken for ADHD or they don’t have it at all but the parents are pushing the doctor for a diagnosis so they can get the medicine (in particular adderall) for their kids.

I actually have ADD (No H component), it’s been diagnosed twice over and I took medication. It frustrates me that this condition is so misunderstood and abuse by people seeking what amounts to little more than a minor high.
