So, is ADD/ADHD actually a real thing, or is it just part of a trend to make everything out of social norm "a condition".<p>I mean naively speaking, we didn't evolve to sit in classrooms and read books, grow up and sit in the offices. So I would expect on spectrum of human temperaments, there must be a significant portion of people who are not cut for concentrating and calm-behavior.<p>Generally being skeptical about a lot of modern social "sciences" (potentially made for grants or big business, not reproducible, based on correlations), but aware of my ignorance here, I wonder if there is anything that would convince me that medicating my (hypotetical) hyper-active kid is justified, instead of pushing for environment in which the kid can just scream and run more.
