Whoever informed you that ADD is ‘something doctors made up to relieve you of those responsibilities’ was ignorant of what ADD is. ADD is an inability to concentrate at a normal level. It can be mild, which takes only extra effort to concentrate, to severe, which makes it nearly impossible to concentrate. Ritalin, the most common treatment, is actually a chemical stimulant that in a ‘normal’ person would actually increase hyperactivity, not decrease it. Doctors aren’t yet sure of what exactly causes ADD, as they aren’t sure with many other disabilities. I agree that too many people are being diagnosed with ADD. I feel that undermines the real people who are ADD. But ADD is real, and not just a made up disability.
