Can adhd actually exist?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: It is a common label often overused by parents and teachers. Yet there are subgroups of that group that have a condition that will improve significantly with proper evaluation and treatment.

An actual disorder: ADHD is a neurochemical diosrder well researched and validated. It involves a deficiency of brain Dopamine and nor epinephrin. the disorder is over diagnosed so people can be sceptics about the diagnosis.
