What double-blind experiments?

Ask my doctor, he showed me some literature on the topic prior to prescribing. I was, naturally, very leery of taking any medication at the time.

BS. There is no such thing as a double-blind experiment that confirms the existence of ADD/ADHD.

ADD/ADHD is a psychiatric disorder. This means that its existence is confirmed purely by subjective citeria.

doctors also supported lobotomies and electroshock therapy.

Laz, good for you. I was in denial and then guilt over medicating my kid, but it makes a HUGE difference in his life. I don't let the ideologues bother me about this. No doubt some are needlessly medicated or it doesn't help. That doesn't mean that it's always a bad idea.
