It existed, but it was undiagnosed and untreated.
- the-dude 6y agoI acknowledge that it existed : severe cases were known and described. But did it 'exist' at this scale? I don't think so.
- jacques_chester 6y agoI do think so. Neurological understanding of ADHD has advanced enormously in the past few decades. I'm touchy about this subject because it's hard not to take the implication personally that it's somehow a recent invention.
