The Shortage of Stimulant Medications for ADHD - Why It's Still a Problem Today

  • Summary

  • In this episode, we take a quick break from attachment theory and dive into a very real, current problem we face today: the stimulant medication shortage for the treatment of ADHD. We explore the complex regulatory systems surrounding stimulants, including supply chain issues and being lumped into the category of Schedule II medications monitored by the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) to fight the Opioid Epidemic. The pressures from many layers of control fall on the shoulders of the pharmacist, and worst of all, the patients. Lastly, we discuss how to mitigate this shortage issue for patients, and the need for patient advocacy amongst clinicians.
