This is such a harmful comment, and perpetuates lies about the state of understanding of ADHD.
ADHD is basically the most studied and best understood psychological condition out there. People who get treatment (medical treatment! Treatment without medication is a major uphill battle) have a 60+% response rate, with something like 30% of people having almost total recovery of symptoms.
This is much better than "real" conditions like bipolar disorders and "well most people think it's real" things like depression. If you think we can diagnose and treat bipolar, then acknowledging ADHD as a real thing that does affect a lot of people is the next logical step.
A bit of a rant but I think a lot society is still in denial about ADHD mainly because the symptoms look a lot like behaviour we expect from children.
And of course that denial makes ADHD sufferers feel like shit and shuts down most paths for recourse...
