@drgo @eiaine Apparently one of the ways that ADHD etc. can be confirmed is to just see how the patient reacts to drugs like Adderall. In someone with "genuine" ADHD, etc. those drugs often have opposite effects of what you'd expect, eg the "meth" actually leaving the person feeling sleepy.

@drgo @eiaine ...and again, I'm not putting "genuine" in quotes because I'm trying to say ADHD isn't real. Rather, I want to make clear that it's a fuzzy label on a situation specific continuum. Change jobs and someone who would previously fit the criteria of having a problem with ADHD might no longer, and vice versa.
