"In 1980, Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), which is literally a list of behaviors, was voted to be a 'mental disorder' at a committee meeting of the American Psychiatric Association (APA), and included in the APA Diagnostic & Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders, DSM-III (third edition).

 

In 1987, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) was literally voted into existence by the American Psychiatric Association and inserted in the DSM-IV.

 

Within one year, 500,000 children in the U.S. were diagnosed with the disorder."
