Depends on situation: I know for a fact it is a real condition.I also know it is often over-diagnosed and some children and adults on medication when they do not have it.

Real: ADD/ADHD is a neurochemical abnormality which has been well studied. The neurochemical basis is a brain with too low levels of the neurotransmmitters Dopamine and Nor epinephrin. The diagnosis is over used, but many children and adults suffer from the disorder.
