I don't think we've hit overdiagnosed, I think we've massively underestimated how many sufferers there are. But assuming you're right, so what?

There's an argument to be made that getting the diagnosis right for kids is imperative because the medication is essentially impressed upon them but for adults, who cares? They're not cheap, the side effects are kinda awful, it's annoying to get the dosing right so you don't build up a tolerance, you have to go to a doctor every time you need your rx renewed. If someone without adhd is going through all that because stimulants help then power to 'em I guess. There's not really a downside, stimulants at the doses prescribed for adhd aren't life ruining.
