Today, we’re continuing our discussion on the history of ADHD in the early modern era, working from the 1850s through the 1980s. After this episode, when you hear someone say ADHD, you’ll have some idea of the historical and cultural context behind it, and you’ll know why some people think ADHD is just the result of us “not trying hard enough.” Thank you to our Patrons for funding this podcast.
