Hey everybody who knows about the history of mental illness. Someone I care about has ADD and is really badly disabled. I have a big ask of you.

Where can I read a history of societal attitudes to people with poor focus and weak executive functions ***BEFORE 1920***? That is, not a history of the diagnosis. A social history of the empirical phenomenon.

There's lots of books about #depression. Help me out now!
