I have two children diagnosed with ADHD. The first was acting so erratic in class that he ended up missing four weeks of school because they kept sending him home. The doctors suspected ADHD, but refused to diagnose it without going through the full process. Short-term therapy, then long-term therapy followed by a psychiatric review. Once he got medication everything went back to normal.

We just started the evaluation with our second child and it's the exact same process. Not that I doubt some doctors cut corners, but I haven't personally seen it.
