I have ADHD. I took medicine for it, all of it made me sick, or aggravated nervous tics to the point that I appeared epileptic, or made me drink 6 gallons of water and lose 15 pounds in two days.
Dealing with it is tough, and medicine can help. Fortunately, I was under the supervision of responsible parents and a good doctor who saw that it was doing more harm than good.
As bad as it is to give medication to someone who doesn't need it (and this happens a lot,) it's equally harmful to just tell someone who genuinely does have ADD that he's just lazy and not trying hard enough.
