Although I don't agree with scenario you just gave me, it doesn't relate to what I said. It's more like this. You suffer from nothing. You get diagnosed with x. You get unnecessary pills for x.

Thats the parents fault; When you see a psychiatrist they ask you whats wrong aka why you are there they dont just give you junk; Im a functioning psychotic actually, ive spent more time than i would like to admit at a psychiatrist office and TBH the classes i took in college on psychology were more intuitive and informative than what some of my psychiatrists knew.

If you took the time to look at these links, you'd see that it says that most doctors/psychiatrist don't know how to give a proper test for adhd. I wouldn't really blame the parents.

Doctors prescribe based on evident symptoms + trial and error on what works an what doesnt. The problem in USA is pharmicudical advertisements: Parent or person sees TV add then asks psych if they need the meds. In USA psychiatrists are payed in commission by pharmicudicals on how much of that medicine they can hand out: So in USA you have a TON of doctors prescribing meds to ppl who dont need them

Yeah I can see that, in fact I'm pretty sure most children are brought in for adhd after their teachers complain.

Teachers and inept parents who think their children CAN sit still for 5 min un attended
