ADD? ADHD? ...TDAH?! What are we supposed to be calling this thing?

The name ADHD has evolved over the years and is even different from country to country. It gets confusing! So incredi-brain Charles Chung helped us create this episode investigating what ADHD is called all around the world. Special thank to Charles and to all the international brains who submitted videos!
