Water intoxication, also known as hyponatremia, has been recognized since ancient times, but its formal study and understanding evolved in the 20th century. The term itself was popularized in the 1950s and 1960s as researchers began to investigate the effects of excessive water consumption on the body's electrolyte balance. While no single individual can be credited with its "discovery," various medical professionals and researchers contributed to the understanding of this condition through their studies.
