Complete History of AMPHETAMINES: From Nazi War Machine to ADHD Medication | History for Sleep

Описание: In this video, we explore the history of amphetamines — from a forgotten molecule synthesized in 1887 to the drug that fueled Nazi blitzkrieg, transformed American housewives into anxious patients, and now sits in millions of medicine cabinets as ADHD medication. This is the complete, unfiltered story of how a "miracle cure" became a weapon, then an epidemic, and finally returned under a new name. We trace the invisible thread connecting Hitler's war machine to modern classrooms, revealing uncomfortable truths about what we demand from ourselves and why we keep turning to chemistry for solutions.
