ADHD: Is it a Disease?

Or just a description of attributes that ALL of us suffer from at times?

WebMD:

• Difficulty paying attention to details and a tendency to make mistakes at school or other activities, producing work that is often messy and careless.
• Easily distracted by irrelevant stimuli and frequently interrupting ongoing tasks to attend to trivial noises or events that are usually ignored by others.
• Inability to sustain attention on tasks or activities..
• Difficulty finishing schoolwork or paperwork or performing tasks that require concentration.
• Procrastination.
• Disorganized work habits.
• Forgetfulness in daily activities.
• Failure to complete tasks such as homework or chores.

Dr Bruce Perry recently described ADHD with this statement:

"It is best thought of as a description. If you look at how you end up with that label, it is remarkable because any of us at any given time would fit at least a couple of those criteria."
