Urge the Government to Address the ADHD Medication Shortage
The Issue
My daughter, like many others, suffers from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). For two weeks now, she has been without her medication due to a severe shortage. This lack of access is not only affecting her ability to focus and regulate herself at school but also impacting her friendships and family relationships. We feel desperate and helpless.
ADHD affects approximately 6.1 million children in the United States alone (source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). The medication prescribed for this condition plays a crucial role in helping these individuals lead normal lives by managing their symptoms effectively. However, recent shortages have left countless families like ours struggling.
The government must take immediate action to address this issue that is causing significant distress among those affected by ADHD. By ensuring sufficient supplies of these essential medications, we can prevent further disruption to the lives of millions of children across our nation.
Please sign this petition urging our government officials to prioritize resolving the ADHD medication shortage crisis immediately.
