Research Notes on ADHD/ADD History
ADHD/ADD did not receive widespread attention in the medical community until 1902.1 ADHD/ADD's clinical definition dates back to the mid-20th century.2 Originally, physicians had placed labels such as "hyperactivity" and "learning/behavioural disabilities" on children who exhibited behavior that was consistent with ADHD/ADD.2 As more was discovered about ADHD/ADD, physicians began to make the proper diagnoses for their patients.2
Fast Facts:
- It was not until recent years that treatment was offered for ADHD/ADD.3
- ADHD/ADD was thought to be the result of bad parenting in its early years.3
- The first once-daily ADHD medication was introduced in 2000.4
