Over 10% of children? That sounds like a flawed testing method or toxic environment, not a disease.

Can you explain why it being over 10% of children would make it not a disease?

But really, if like more than 50% of children has ADHD, maybe it's not really a "defect" but rather a "trait" of some human.

Unless you're implying that half of the humanity that has ADHD are defective humans.

Just a thought
