Those certainly could result in some mental disorder. An awkward personality and to some degree low IQ could be symptomatic of a mental disorder as well. It's definatly possible to make a convincing case that all mental illness is a manufactured construct [1]. But I don't think you can reasonably say ADHD is not a disease and still believe, say, depression or anxiety disorders are diseases.
Interesting link, thank you.
Before we talk about forcing people to go on drugs they don't want, let's get to a place where society lets everyone who could benefit from treatment at least have the option of receiving it.
It seems unjust and coercive to tell people they have a disease and should be medicated simply because society demands it.
