I think it exists within the current societal and medical paradigm, where conformity and compliance are king, difference is shunned, and where it's considered a reasonable expectation for all kids to sit still for 6 hours, 5 days a week. The same paradigm, which includes the excesses of Big Pharma, is the reason too many things have been pathologised, and it's to be expected that many people are treated unnecessarily and/or improperly. I suspect that in other paradigms, where expectations of people's behavior are more reasonable than ours, the diagnosis is rareScott mentioned "good" doctors - well, there are as many good doctors as there are good mechanics, with similar results, except that cars have no feelings.
Context is VERY important to any analysis.
