I saw an interview with Gabor Maté, who framed ADHD as a coping mechanism acquired during early development. He has some books on the topic, though I haven’t read them.

These days it seems trendy to have some mental health issues to deal with. While I don’t think people should be shamed for having real issues, I think people reaching for a diagnosis to gain acceptance with a peer group, or to get some pills to use as a study aid, is very problematic. Maybe some form of Munchausen syndrome.
