Do you think ADD and ADHD are over diagnosed? It seems that over the last few years more and more kids are being diagnosed with these two conditions. I think some of these kids are just bored in school or their parents just don't discipline them.

I think it is overdiagnosed.  I was a teacher for 9 years and the longer I taught, the more students I had who were diagnosed with ADD or ADHD.  I also had parents who would try everything they could to manage it without medicine.
