A family member of mine was misdiagnosed with ADD ages ago, they actually developed some kind of tick thanks to the medication. They never really had ADD, just sucked at math and never concentrated on it. Btw nothing ever came of it, doctor is still practionining as he did before.
I would HIGHLY doubt someone has ADD just because I have seen it being pushed on boys because they don't behave like girls in class. Doctors and teachers are very suspect in these cases since one just wants boys to comply, the other wants to push meds.
I only ever met one guy with ADD and you could actually tell he really had it.
Our educational system has been warped heavily to cater to girls and how they learn. And of course our society in general says the natural behavior of boys is wrong.
Sometimes too, what's happening is dietary problems. The child's diet is unhealthy/they have low grade allergies to what they're eating and it's causing behaviour/mood issues which are misdiagnosed as ADD.
