The short answer is: it's not. 
Diagnosis of ADD/ADHD is a really weird thing. Some doctors will call damn near anybody ADD, and some more or less don't believe in the label. Because there has been little research/focus on the actual cause, it's hard to pinpoint whether or not somebody "has" it. But, basically, if a person has an unusually tough time focusing on things that other people can focus on, they might get an ADD diagnosis. i took a test that said i was moderately add/hd. but i dont know how serious i should take that | |

many people do have ADD or ADHD but many more do not and are being medicated even though they do not require it. many of the behavioral issues the are associated with ADD and ADHD in children are oftentimes normal kid behavior and lots of times kids get diagnosed and unneccesarily medicated. 
i go to school with a girl who has been diagnosed with it and she likes to snort her adderol perscription. nice.  | |
