It's very hard to get ADHD 'right', as the state of the art research can't show biologically what it is or who has it. ADHD-alike symptoms can be caused by thyroid problems, low vitamin levels, narcolepsy, depression, parasites and more.

It's a sad state of affairs because people genuinely suffer for it and we don't have the foggiest what's going on, despite ever ramping research funding. Curing it could bring back billions to the economy.
