ADHD is not a mental health disorder and doesn't require treatment. Treatment can be good for people who are having a difficult time with it, but it's entirely optional.
ADHD is a psychosocial syndrome, meaning that it may be problematic depending on the social context. If the situation is such that it causes problems to the person, then it should be considered a disorder.
Definition of a disorder includes the fact that it's a problem to the person experiencing it.
ADHD is legally considered a disability in my country. It very much is a mental health disorder. I mean it literally hinders you from living your life to the fullest.
So is being gay in a bunch of countries. But of course everyone who doesn't meet some arbitrary definition of "living life to the fullest" is sick and needs therapy.
