ADHD is Highly Overdiagnosed!!

Think about this fact:
After 20 minutes of inactivity one's brain quits learning effectively.

This makes sense when we look at kids who have to sit for at least an hour at a time (if not longer). They get agitated, move around, aren't able to focus. All these are symptoms of ADHD and yet can be explained simply by the fact I listed above.

Psychology website on ADHD, it's prevalance, and it's overdiagnosis.

It's 100% in the children of parents who want their kids to be as docile as they are.

And it's 100% in adults who can't find anything else to be victimized by without a social stigma.
