Psychology is rife with myths: you only use 10 per cent of your brain; you’re either left-brained or right-brained; your brain has a ‘learning style’. Culture is littered with ideas that would have any decent psychologist rolling their eyes. At 146 years old, psychology is no spring chicken, but compared to something like astronomy, it’s a toddler. Since the subject is still in its infancy, a lot of the early ideas about human thought and behaviour linger, giving rise to misconceptions about how our brains work. While erroneous conclusions about the ‘left/right brain’ idea is relatively harmless, others can get us into trouble. TV in the 90s taught us that attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) was something only kids had – the unruly, fidgety kind that couldn’t sit still long enough to do their homework. The trouble is, psychology and the early narrative around the condition oversimplified what was happening. As we learn more about the disorder, those assumptions are crashing into real people’s lives and a forgotten generation of undiagnosed people are emerging, having struggled their whole lives. This issue, we investigate why millions are waking up to the new reality of ADHD.
