General consensus is no--It's something you're born with or develop very early in life. Recent studies are linking ADHD to a conjunction of genes and prenatal pesticide exposure. However, you do not get ADHD from bad parenting or too much television. These can impair coping or enhance the behavioral symptoms though.

Basically, ADHD is a mental disorder, centered in the brain. Symptoms arise out of brain abnormalities in conjunction with individual personalities.
