ADHD & now AADD

Is ADHD, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder ,a real disease that can be allegedly treated with Ritalin a cocaine derivitive.

The drug companies are now advertising on TV to suggest you too might suffer from AADD, Adult Attention Deficit Disorder, and that you might benefit from taking (BUYING) their product.

If a drug can “cure” such “diseases” might they not have been caused by the intake of other drugs/stuff before symptoms became apparent.

Consider that all too many children and adults subsist on a diet heavily weighted toward soft drinks which are laced with caffeine and sugar. Some of the newer versions have two to three times the caffeine and sugar content!

What say ye?
