Not a disease? That's down to semantics and personal opinion. What isn't opinion is the fact that the symptoms of ADHD have been objectively identified on a global scale, in people from very different cultures and social classes.

I agree that it isn't beneficial to label a very livable condition with the same word that we use for much harsher illnesses, and it doesn't help that it's not a visible condition. But as somebody with ADHD, it really hurts me to keep seeing this argument repeated ad nausea.

Maybe the issue isn't that it is being overdiagnosed, but rather the fact that the only treatment we consider worthwhile is prescribing amphetamines to children.
