@jeridansky hopefully whatever the reason, it doesn't spread elsewhere!

@mlapierre From the article, it sounds like a lot of problems result from how the U.S. regulates ADHD meds. Hopefully other nations use better approaches.

@jeridansky I'm starting treatment this week, so I'm really hoping hard that Australia don't mess it up. We've certainly done that before so... 😨 but 🤞
