Millions of Americans with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) rely on stimulant medications to manage their symptoms. However, the recent nationwide shortage has disrupted access to these essential drugs. The result has been devastating for so many people, significantly impacting daily life, causing difficulties with focus, hyperactivity, and emotional regulation.
