It'd be easy to diagnose if we were a little more lax with our prescriptions.
Here, take this Ritalin. Did it make you hyper? Yeah, you're normal. Did it make you fold laundry the same day you washed it? ADHD.
It's not quite that specific as a test unfortunately. For example, if a person is having troubles focusing because they're sleep deprived, ritalin will help even if they don't have clinical ADHD.
