Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder

Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is an alleged disease of adolescents that is supposed to be characterized by lack of ability to focus on the task at hand, and often with a lack of ability to sit still. What it actually is, is a lack of discipline. Sadly, the "treatment" that child psychiatrists, and school districts, often prescribe (or demand) involves giving the patient a large number of expensive – and possibly dangerous – drugs.
