My parents hired a professional to observe me for a day in the classroom without me knowing. Then that person recommended I be tested. I took about 3 tests over the course of a few days. Then went to see a psychiatrist and was finally diagnosed.

Now it seems like anyone who says they have trouble concentrating is diagnosed and given pills.

It does seem like that if you listen to laymen and read the news. But is there actually good reason to believe it is true?
