No, like a lot of other legitimate medical conditions, it is falsely and overlydiagnosed causing the line between the two to blur.

Let's see, what did my parents do to me...
1) Was only able eat candy on Saturdays.
2) I had a bed time of like 9:00 PM until I was 10.
3) We use to eat mainly home-cooked food, not junk all the time.
4) I only had surprised television viewing in the living room.
5) Was not able to have my own TV or phone or computer until my teen years.
6) When I was 3, my dad and I walked to a junk wood pile where he had me select my paddle stick. I picked it out and he sanded it down and made a handle on one end. He then swatted me with it to get my attention and then hung it high in the kitchen where I could always see it. He used it on me 3 or 4 times between the ages of 3 and 9. First time I think was when I crossed the street alone without looking both ways. He needed an effective way to get the message across. He also used it if I was caught lying to him or my mother. How would he use it? He would first explain why I was being punished. He would then bend me over his knee and spank me 10 times with it on my bare butt. Lastly, he would hug me (while I was sobbing) and tell me he loved me.
I would say all of the above was quite effective. I never needed drugs.

When I was growing up, after school I jumped on my bike, found my friends and we horsed around doing kid stuff until dinnertime. After dinner was homework and a little TV (in the living room with the family) and then off to bed. And I was tired after getting up early for school (or, when older, my paper route) and playing hard all afternoon.
In winter we went sledding or built snow forts and all that kinda outdoor type fun. We made our own fun. If I ever told my folks I was bored, they would find me something to do that was a lot less palatable. Chores.
I had those to do too. I was expected to pull my weight around the household.

Sounds similar to me, minus the whole "dad crafting me my own whipping paddle".....the hand/belt worked just fine

I truly believe that television is at the root of these problems today.
My grandson was diagnosed with ADD. Can't concentrate at school and so on and so forth. But put him in front of a television, and a nuclear blast wouldn't budge him. We have to turn the TV off to get him moving. This is not the behavior of someone who can't concentrate. He can concentrate extremely well in front of the TV.
