ADHD patients across the country are facing an unprecedented challenge: an ongoing Adderall shortage. Dr. Sulman Aziz Mirza, triple board certified psychiatrist, dives deep into the root causes and the real-world implications of this crisis.

We investigate the role of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in controlling Adderall production and discuss whether their regulations have inadvertently contributed to the shortage. We also uncover the impact of increased ADHD diagnoses and the changing landscape of prescription rules on the demand for Adderall. But the investigation doesn't stop there. We explore a disturbing theory suggesting that Big Pharma could be manipulating the shortage to drive the use of more expensive, branded medications. Additionally, we shed light on the dangerous repercussions of the shortage, including the rise in use of illicit and potentially deadly substitutes.

If you or a loved one relies on Adderall to manage ADHD symptoms, this video is a must-watch. Get informed about the crisis, understand the risks, and join the conversation about solutions. Remember, knowledge is power.

Stay tuned till the end for the latest updates on when this shortage might come to an end. Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe for more insightful content on important healthcare topics!
