ADHD (attention deficit, hyperactive disorder) could be dramatically over diagnosed, and many cases are instead another problem such as depression.
Medical researchers have been too quick to make an ADHD diagnosis without first ruling out other possible possibilities, and these mistakes have been made even in the most influential studies that have guided drug and treatment policies.

Most of the researchers weren’t qualified to make an accurate diagnosis and in one study the diagnosis was done by a computer.
