Personally I believe a lot of ADD/ADHD cases are the result of bad parenting. I was diagnosed with ADHD at a young age. My parent's did the right thing by not putting me on meds and parented me better. Although I do use Ritalin in college
I don't doubt it exists, but I feel like most kids can fake the symptoms and get misdiagnosed with it if they wanted to. Some people just use it as an excuse for being stupid, which is just nonsense.

Well said and I agree. If you are using it as an excuse, you are just wasting everybodys time. Get some real help.
Often confused with laziness and immaturity. But the doctors don't care, they make money by prescribing Ritalin and Adderall. I bet there are some cases where there's chemical imbalances in the brain, but it's probably rare.
ADHD and ADD are just popular propaganda terms used by the parents of stupid children, crappy teachers, and [s]white collar drug dealers[/s] doctors. They are real disorders because Pfizer profits from it, although it has fallen short as a source of income because of the rise in Assperger's Syndrome and lysdexia - which makes up 70% of Pfizer's new financial statement and 90% of NGU's userbase.
You can easily tell when someone has ADHD and ADD because they have an inability to tell jokes (due to lack of attention, mind, not lack of wit) and sometimes they get upset when they don't
[If you didn't get the above, you're a moron.]
Drugs like Ritalin, Caffeine and Strattera are just easier alternatives than parenting; and actually legal over their primary equivalent - methamphetamine.
