Adult ADHD Is the Wild West of Psychiatry
Adult ADHD Is the Wild West of Psychiatry
The Adderall shortage exposed a troubling gap in how doctors care for the disorder.
There is a discussion on Hacker News, but feel free to comment here as well.

I take issue with the 80 year old description of ADHD “difficulty focusing, inability to sit still, and fidgeting”.
Edit: well, I guess it does add a tad more to the description in its mention of adult adhd.
Also not a fan of the sprinkling of “people are taking drugs they don’t need” and “Adderall is like fentanyl”
Not sure an article like this does more good or harm.
Why are doctors apposed to Adderall at all? It helps me tremendously, and I don't have any downside to using it, yet it is painfully hard to get and maintain a prescription.
Adderal is extremely addictive and can be very hard on the body.
If you need it to be a functional adult, then it makes sense, but someone who otherwise would make do shouldn't be taking it just because.
I wouldn't say "extremely addictive". More like "easily abused".
