Watch out for the downvotes bomb, this is real taboo topic these days... But yeah, I'm with you, I'm yet to find any convincing evidence ADHD exists and I think the consequences of this unscientific+dogma approach is a damn tragedy. All the pain and suffering that it causes, the pressure and agony parents go through because, obviously, they want the best for their child, this is not quantified(I bet the money is though) I'm curious to what will history say about this. I was a problem child and it makes me cringe that I could have been put on this kind of shit since young, it's absurd. |

People diagnosed with ADHD are three times more likely to be in a car accident. 56& of people diagnosed with adhd who are untreated have substance abuse problems.
Either ADHD is real, or psychologists have found the world's best car insurance filter.
Then there is evidence of structural brain differences,

I've seen multiple adults who grew up in previous generations where ADHD was just "being lazy" who have spent their entire life depressed, knowing that they never lived up to their potential because they quite literally could not focus.
It isn't a lack of willpower, it is a physical lack of ability. The fact that the physical lacking is in a missing neurotransmitter doesn't make it any less real.
