Structured SuccessThe fact that we aren't treating the ADHD medication shortages and the miles' long waitlist for ADHD/autism assessments as the healthcare crises that they are makes me so angry.
We need to take healthcare for neurodevelopmental conditions seriously
Dark Phoenix 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇬🇱🇵🇦🇵🇸🏳️🌈@structuredsucc there is also a major shortage of morphine, because several manufacturers have discontinued their morphine products, because, the profit margin is too low.
And beyond morphine, there isn't any readily available options that can replace it, at least in the US.
I'm a caregiver and my client has had to go without his primary pain Rx because it is out of stock. Seeing him in so much pain for so long is hard. And this is the second time in less than 6 months that he has had to go without.

MissConstrueBenzo classes seem to be in shortage too. My daughter is prescribed klonopin for seizures while she’s ramping up a new seizure med, and we can’t get it filled anywhere.
Hear me out. Maybe healthcare with a profit motive was a bad idea actually >_<
Darth Osler@structuredsucc believe me, there's so much structural wrong about that no one in America is ready to confront

There’s medication for ADHD?
I was diagnosed as a child.
The “treatment” was “don’t let him have sugar”.
Yeah. THAT worked. 🙄

Susan Vanderplas@structuredsucc yep. It is a problem not to have medication. I risk car accidents and setting my house on fire cooking dinner in the short term and losing my job and not being an effective parent long term. Meds are so important.
MrGrumpyMonkey@structuredsucc Until Healthcare is seen as a service and not a commodity, I don't see this happening. I'd like to see the shift before my life is complete, but I truly doubt I will.
I completely agree, and the worst part is that I'm seeing the slow erosion of healthcare even in countries have historically been good at providing government options. It's so hard to see
Annie G@structuredsucc I'm the mother of a grown son who has had to pay for his own diagnosis and struggles with getting timely refills, often having to go without while trying to run his business. We knew he was ADHD when he was in grade school, but he wasn't academically 'impaired,' just bored to death and unwilling to get diagnosed or take meds. Now, he has to navigate a bureaucratic hellscape of profiteers and indifferent medical providers, often from a position of economic and mental stress. Everything seems to be rigged against anyone on the margins...
