First off, no respected Scientist or Dr. working in the field calls ADHD a disease, they call it a disorder.

There are some parties who look to deliberately question the disorder's validity by first calling the disorder a "disease" and then by pointing out that adhd does not match the criteria of a disease.

Well Duh Einstein!!!...it is a disorder.


If you read something where a Dr. uses the term Disease and ADHD in the same sentence then you know that he is a quack and most likely deliberately trying to mislead you.

IMO, I think ADHD is a disorder, not a disease..hence the term disorder used in the name: attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
