[QUOTE="donna723, post: 463652, member: 1883"] I've often wondered that too. I know that some kids really do fit the diagnosis of ADHD and are greatly helped by medications. But I think it's also greatly overdiagnosed too. I've had several friends who had their boys on medications, but from what I saw of them, they were no more active or hyper than any other little boys that age. And with all of them, this was their only child or their only boy. One friend of mine was raising one very calm, well behaved little girl when her son was born. When he was much more active and off the wall than her daughter had been at that age, she thought something was wrong with him! Kind of makes me wonder if they were really aware of how rough and active almost all little boys are at that age and that a certain amount of it is perfectly normal for boys in that age group.
