When I was 19 my mother suspected I had ADD and had me tested for it. The tests were inconclusive but I was still prescribed Ritalin, of which I only took two pills after feeling the effects.
My opinion on the whole ADD issue is that there isn't a clear enough definition of what it is or a refined enough method of treatment to combat it. Most of the medicines given for ADD were happened upon by accident, they don't know why they work but they seem to. It could be that most people today are taking medicines that will one day be considered the stone axes and furs of medication since they arent patient specific enough.

One thing I've noticed about people who think they might have ADD is they all have one thing in common; intelligence. This makes me think that the world itself isn't moving fast enough for them and they might be capable of taking in information faster than most people if trained properly.
