Eh. ADHD is a real condition—though it’s both over-diagnosed and under-diagnosed.

I didn’t dxed with it until my mid-20s, but I’m glad I did.

My daughter has ADHD non hyperactive and literally can not function without her meds. It is sad that she went through years of torture at school because she was not diagnosed until she was 17. She had problems with social interaction and relationships with her peers and began struggling in school as the classes became more difficult.

Maybe it is over diagnosed but for girls who do not exhibit the hyper activity it goes undiagnosed.
