The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is warning those who take medication for ADHD, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, could face a disruption in accessing care after two executives were arrested for a $100 million fraud scheme.

The CDC issued a health advisory to inform public health officials, clinicians and patients about the potential for medication distribution to be affected.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) released information Thursday on the arrests of a California-based digital health company’s CEO and clinical president.

The duo was arrested for their alleged participation in attempting to distribute Adderall over the internet, commit health care fraud by submitting false claims for reimbursement for the drug, and obstructing justice, the DOJ’s release said.

    (I’m the person you were replying to 😜) i looked into it plenty like 4 months ago and got a doctor in mind to go to for diagnosis, definitely worth a try when the brain go brrr BRRR (again, amongst the ever growing pile of "oh hey my family has a history of _____ i should look into that sooner rather than later)

    I read like 3 chapters of a “PowerShell in a Month of Lunches” the other day and was surprised at myself. I’ve had the book for almost a year now, got about halfway through it, and it’s been living in my work backpack directly next to my work laptop ever since 🙃
