Summary
The stimulant medication shortage has introduced new challenges in managing ADHD, affecting both patients’ access to essential treatments and clinicians’ ability to provide consistent care. In this PsychTalk podcast/webcast episode, Drs. Gregory Mattingly and Roger McIntyre explore the impact of these shortages, particularly on cognitive functioning, treatment continuity, and daily life for individuals with ADHD. Their discussion also examines stimulant misuse and diversion, looking at trends in medication sourcing, formulations most susceptible to abuse, and strategies to reduce the risk of misuse. By the end of the episode, learners will be equipped with timely insights and real-world tools to optimize ADHD management amid evolving supply and safety challenges.
