I don't see where anybody is claiming ADD is a disease. It is a disorder. A disease is something you can catch. A disorder occurs because of one's personal characteristics.

By the way, how much are you paid for your medical expertise?

Since most people are willing to concede that we may develop diseases of the liver, kidneys, bone, eyes, stomach, skin, or immune system, why is it difficult to believe that there might be diseases of the brain? Why can you not concede that something could go wrong with the incredibly complex and delicate neurochemistry that regulates our behavior?
