If mental health IS a serious disease then its easy to argue in favor of such screenings.

I would agree that ADD/ADHD is the most overdiagnosed ailment in the country, but I can tell you from first-hand experience, it does exist, medication does help if you're willing to give it some effort (they aid you, they're not miracle drugs,) and you can partially grow out of it as you mature and your brain finishes wiring itself.
