"It's not a disease," she said. "It's a disorder, which isn't really the same thing. From what little I remember, which I'm afraid isn't a lot, it's a chemical imbalance of some sort. It's not something that can be healed, for instance, but it can be treated and helped."

Hermione wished she'd done more reading on the topic but, when she'd learned of the neighbor, she'd just read the basics to understand and hadn't felt a need to do further research. "I think Muggles use medication, uh potions, to help the imbalance, and there might be alternatives or other ways to help, too."

"It is fairly common and not considered negative or shameful by any means," she said firmly, before he dared consider it something to be ashamed of. "You could probably find a checklist to confirm since I just remember a little bit and might be wrong. If it is ADHD, I could look into a safe and harmless potion alternative for you, if you'd like." Well, she wouldn't but she knew someone who would definitely have the knowledge of potions to help Cormac, even if it was done secretly.
