ADHD is a chronic condition marked by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and sometimes impulsivity. ADHD begins in childhood and often lasts into adulthood. As many as 2 out of every 3 children with ADHD continue to have symptoms as adults
Methylphenidate contributes to the treatment of ADHD by increasing attention and decreasing restlessness in children and adults who are overactive, cannot concentrate for very long, or are easily distracted, and are impulsive.

Get the ADHD mug.Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, it absolutely suckssss, specially for the ones who are the high Spectrum for it. It get so easily distracted and neverrrr can finish things. You always have new ideas that go to waste. Some even talk way to much, “hey Sarah did you do the science homework” *didnt answer fast enough* “omg did you heard about 6ix 9ine going to jail” “omg wait I think Alex leave his coat here let me ran 2 miles to his house.” Then there’s siting in class have the urge to move is a big one. That’s why class chairs sucks and WE ALL SHOULD BE ABLE TO STAND UP AND WALK AROUND A LITTLE. The hardest part is trying to force, when you have it you’re not dumb and you’re not trying to do this. Sometimes things just spilt out of your mind and you can’t control it.It takes you a lot longer to do takes, because you just can’t still Focus and concentrate. you forget pretty much everything that’s important. Friends may tell you to “calm down” or “stuck Focus “ even might dismiss you from doing work with them. And quick honesty that hurts the most because it makes you feel like you lost alll your control in your mind. ADAH isn’t a joke and it’s not funny, as much as I like to joke about it, it’s one of the most hardest awful thing to have.

Yes, an actual disorder. There are several variations and it is often waved off as a "rumor made to sell Ritalin" by the ignorant, arrogant, or some frustratingly ludicrous combination thereof. As a teenage girl with a fairly severe case of this myself, I can honestly tell you that this is a real disorder with real consequences and real problems that have to do with brain activity.
Also, Ritalin is *not* the solution to everything, and from me that's saying something, since it did do a lot for me. However, Ritalin without family counseling, general tutoring and effort from all sides essentially does nothing. Besides, there's some bad side-effects as well; hell, the meds I'm on right now do wonders for my concentration but have made me twenty-two pounds underweight, as an example.
Girl's ADD is also different than Boy's ADD. Girl's ADD often goes unnoticed because of societal gender differences in early childhood. We're not as jumpy or wild physically, so people think we're just shy or typical daydreamers or even typical girls being girls. However, there really are myriad cases of girl's ADD which are undiagnosed.
Adult ADD is also not a myth. An overwhelming majority of people who "grew out" of ADD were really just misdiagnosed; it can be confusing, as ADD often accompanies LD's and other neurological/physiological/psychological disorders. Therefore, most Adult ADD is present, because a lot of people from the 70's and earlier were never diagnosed. ALternatively, it is part of America's insulting trend to blame everything on it.
In short, this is dispell rumors that ADD isn't real, and also to please request that those who are not knowledgeable AND those who don't have anything at all and are just bullshitting to get out of something respect those of us who do have ADD. America's generalizing has made a lot of us uneasy about our futures now that everything bad is wrongly blamed on it.

Furthermore, only 16% (!!) of the population actually has ADD, and some sources even say 6%.
