I based what I said on the study by Kazda, Bell, Thomas, et al [1], although there's always a chance that I might have misunderstood it. From what I understood, it seems that there's a certain degree of overdiagnosis in milder cases of ADHD. Again, it's perfectly possible that I either misunderstood it or that they're wrong. If you look at the rest of my comments in this discussion, you'll see that I'm not pushing the moral panic you mention -- on the contrary, I'm pushing against it strongly -- and that it's definitely not true that I "know next to nothing" about this condition. It wouldn't surprise me to find that ADHD is being simultaneously over- and under-diagnosed, because it's new enough that we're still discovering more and more about it. That's why I don't dispute that there's probably some degree of overdiagnosis, but I strongly object to pushing the narrative that it's some kind of an overmedication epidemic or crisis.
