Attention Deficit Disorder/ Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) has gone by a number of aliases. When it (ADD) was first clinically acknowledged almost a century ago, in 1902, the illness was labeled as “Morbid Defect of Moral Control”, followed by “Post-encephalitic Behavior Disorders” in 1922. “Minimal Brain Dysfunction” was the new catchphrase in 1960, followed by “Hyperkinetic Reaction” in 1968. It was not until 1980 that the term “Attention Deficit Disorder was coined. ADHD was not defined until later. Attention Deficit Disorder became widely reviewed in the 1960s and 1970s. The focus in the 1960s was primarily on hyperactivity. That emphasis changed in the 1970s when doctors and researchers began making the connection between the introspective daydreaming and lack of focus and the outward impulsivity and hyperactivity. By the 1990s, Attention Deficit became widely studied, discussed, debated and diagnosed.
