I am sorry about the extensive ignorance displayed in the comments.ADHD is a neurological disorder scientifically established by neuroimaging of the brain.
In particular one feature is often present called executive functioning disorder. Teenagers have this difficulty of organizing and prioritizing in the moment because the front cortex of the brain is still developing which controls those functions; hence the name executive functioning which governs doing things which OTHERWISE WOULD JUST BE ACTED UPON BY EMOTION.Executive functioning is only fully developed for most people in their thirties.
Unfortunately for some people that brain function does not develop as others.Hence one must find accomodative means to compensate

It's amazing how the world went so far without anyone managing to identify such an allegedly widespread disorder.

I don't believe in ADD any more than I believe in the tooth fairy or that human activity causes global warming.

Behavioral issues show up on neuroscans, too, and ADD is entirely behavioral, not physiological. The behavior is identical to the effect of watching too much TV - short attention span and no patience for anything that does not provide immediate gratification.

I think ADD should be mocked until people are too ashamed to pretend they have such a disorder. Social pressure is in this case truly the best medicine.
