Yeah, sometimes the ADHD diagnosis is over-used. However, in my job I have and still do encounter children and adults with genuine ADHD.
One diagnosis that I think is bogus is Oppositional Defiant Disorder. Basically it sounds like your average elementary school boy who just doesn't want to do as he is told. Is that really a disorder or is it annoying for the teachers/parents/administrators and that's why they have classified that as a disorder?
