Hyper: A Personal History of ADHD
A Simon & Schuster hardcover of Timothy Denevi's memoir about growing up medicated for ADHD in the 1980s, combined with a history of how the diagnosis and its treatments became mainstream. Denevi's own story—Ritalin at six, psychotic reaction, years of adjustments—serves as the thread through a larger argument about attention, behavior, and pharmaceutical culture. The Simon & Schuster design is the standard trade look, with a cover that signals serious nonfiction rather than self-help. The book is more reflective than the title suggests.Ideal reader: the adult who was told as a child that they had a deficit and has spent years deciding whether to believe it, or the parent looking for a history rather than a prescription.
