I'm thankful for my ADHD, even blessed by it. I believe in nature and evolution, as well as spirituality. Nature, god, evolution, or whatever you define it as doesn't make mistakes. The more I learned about my inability to focus, I began to see it as less of a sickness and almost like an intellectual immune response to keep me away from things that weren't meant for me; it was protection shielding me from something very unnatural for humans.

Alpha Brain for ADHD

A recent study published in the Journal of Abnormal Psychology sheds light on how ADHD symptoms can impact romantic relationship functioning. It highlights the emotional toll that these challenges can take.

RSD is a condition that often occurs in people with ADHD. An intense emotional reaction to perceived or actual rejection or criticism characterizes it.

I think Dr. Gabor Mate figured out where ADHD comes from.

No new episode this week but now is the time to comment on the show!

This is part two of explaining the Adderall crisis. In the last episode, we discussed the brief history of amphetamines and why there is an Adderall shortage today. Here's a quick recap.:

• We learned that the natural stimulant Ephedra shortage in the 1920s likely caused the initial creation of synthetic amphetamines that we rely on to treat inattention and other conditions today.

• We also learned that amphetamines started as a decongestant and nasal spray used to create the amphetamine we know today by accident.

• We also learned that the short supply of amphetamine-based drugs in 2023 is very confusing since the supplies needed to make dextroamphetamine today are abundant because we switched to synthetic formulas about a hundred years ago.

• Contradictions from the DEA, FDA, and drug manufacturers complicate official explanations of the current drought.

• A post on Reddit broke the news of the Adderall shortage months later, and the FDA like felt pressured to make an official statement announcing the shortage. I say they likely felt pressured because when asked why they waited so long, their reply was that they didn't want to start a panic.

• The FDA claims that we're experiencing a nationwide shortage because of a company called Teva.

• Teva says they're experiencing problems because of a rising packaging line issue during covid. But then said the issue had been resolved and average production would resume in the summer of 2022, yet, here we are in the middle of 2023, and things seem to have seemingly become worse.

• We learned that the DEA regulates the supplies and quotas of the raw materials used to make amphetamine. They say there is no shortage of amphetamine and that, in fact, there is an excess and leftover supply of raw materials from the previous quota. Still, they need to find out which company has it.
