High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Social construct theory of ADHD argues that attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder is not necessarily a valid medical diagnosis, but rather a socially constructed explanation to describe behaviors that are not genuinely pathological, but rather simply don't meet prescribed social norms.
