    Thnaks for the comment. We were not referrring to ADHD in this video. There are definitely many people who suffer from that condition and benefit from treatment. This parody was to show how drug companies can sometimes play on fear of illness to seel drugs. This video was not made out of ignorance but out of concern for exploitation. I am a physyician with over 30 years practice an the 'actor' who plays Leth Argos in the video is a very experienced Neurolologist in a large teaching hospital

    i know this is supposed to be a joke but i have all the symptoms of this "fake" disorder. since motivation is required to become a doctor i'm not surprised they don't understand.

    Oh that describes me, sometimes I am not motivated to breath...

    gasp, gasp, oh whew, that was close, I almost died just now. I think I need a new drug, I need this new drug, give me drugs, LOL, that's how stupid people are, you need nutrients, to eat right and quit consuming chemical flavorings, that's why you are sick, not because your body lacks drugs.
